BTW, I also still think pgsql the best thing going for open source RDBMS if you
need transactions and can't spend $20K-$25K for Oracle.  And I have found the
folks on the mailing lists to be critically helpful to working through some
non-trivial issues (as well as a bonehead mistake or two).  I also think the
system is rapidly becoming more stable/mature, though I don't think you can
count on problem-free operation (as of 6.5.2/3) just yet.  But I'm still
betting on pgsql...
