Good find! Coincidentally, I was planning on taking the SQL MCSA soon (intending doing MCSE: BI), so I guess I'll be doing it sooner rather than last (seeing as the offer expires May 31st and the tests have to be written before that date)

I must say, I do love SQL Server. There's something really fun about writing queries and being in charge of database uptime.

You should try playing with PostgreSQL.

What types of applications run PostgreSQL as a back end?

Like MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL is a full RDBMS. It's a hard core enterprise system that goes after drop in replacement with Oracle DB. Pretty much any enterprise software using a database lets you select between PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase and SQL Server if not many more like MySQL, MariaDB, DB2, etc.
MySQL is focused on lightweight web applications so is tuned differently than the others. PostgreSQL is the new darling for enterprise app development. It's old but really good.
