My experience of PostgreSQL was to compile it, install it, create
a few users and create startup scripts for machine reboots. That
was about 6 months ago now - absolutly zero problem reports from
the staff using it for development. Which is good as I get to
ignore it totally and get back to real work using Oracle :-)

My impression was PostgreSQL was that its main acceptance problem
was lack of marketing. If I had to ship a product tied to an
no-cost RDBMS I'd go with PostgreSQL or possibly Gadfly (havn't looked
into its feature set).
