Terrible error messages from IBM and Oracle. I wish they could make good error messages like the open source alternatives. I generally get something that essentially says, your sql statement has an error, with no idea to whether its a column name, table name, or syntax error.

It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.

I'm using pgAdmin as my UI and it leaves me such polite messages when I screw something up
That is extraordinarily polite and pleasant.
That's Postgres itself! You'll see the same thing in the terminal with
psql
or in stack traces that include output from the database :)Such a heartwarming thing to see some actual helpful information and not just an angry looking error code.
