There seems to be an ongoing debate about the ability of SQL and NoSQL technologies, about which one could meet today's data demands better. Recently I have read an article and the writer said, "After years of being left for dead, SQL today is making a comeback." What do you think of the discussion? And where does PostgreSQL fit in the discussion?

5、2009年您曾来过一次中国，那时候PostgreSQL中国社区刚刚成立，而今年，由PostgreSQL中国用户会发起的PostgreSQL大象汇已经是第7屇了，这次大会上也有很多公司来分享PostgreSQL在企业中的应用实例，您如何看待PostgreSQL在中国的发展情况？这符合您的预期吗？
In 2009 you have come to China once, and by that time PostgreSQL Chinese community was just established. By this year, the PostgreSQL China Technology Conference has been held the seventh time.
