-If you are considering using PostreSQL, you should be aware

-destabilizing for a production shop.  Basically at every major version
-upgrade, you are required to dump your database in an ASCII format, 
-do the upgrade, and then reload your database (or databases). This is
-because they frequently update the "data format" from version to   
-version, and they supply no tools to automatically do the conversion.
