I have successfully developed a personal genealogy database with
Postgres in combination with PHP. In its current form, it's hardly more
than a prototype, and it would take an awful lot of work to make it
into a seamless interface for a non-technical user. But I really love
it.

In general, I think the world is rapidly heading towards online storage
solutions for this kind of database stuff, and it may well be the Next
Big Thing[TM] in database applications. The mainstream genealogy
programs still use a Nineties model, where the data is stored on the
user's HDD, typically in a dinky flat-file system. I think that is
scary. The world needs quality storage systems for this kind of data,
and Postgres absolutely has a niche to fill here.
