PostgreSQL is like Emacs. It's an operating system disguised as something else.

the way PG was originally implemented does have some overlap with operating systems design IMHO.. PG internals define and use PG tables in internal schema to implement core architectural features. The PG code that bootstraps the PG environment is minimal in important ways.
