It is not relevant for you as your are using PostgreSQL (for good  
reasons I believe - I use it too, but not exclusively), but from what  
I have heard, the guys at FrontBase  [1] have developed a solution  
for such scenarios based on their own database engine. If you are  
especially looking for such a product and if you are not bound to a  
special db engine, you might want to talk to them.

The information about that is, as far as I know, not on their  
website, so you might ask the customer support for that.

To make that clear: I have nothing to do with FrontBase and it  
clearly has disadvantages and advantages compared to PostgreSQL. I'm  
just a user, as I am for PostgreSQL. I use both of them (more often  
PostgreSQL) and I always try to use the one that fits the situation  
best. That's all and that's why I'm giving this information.
