[imp] A couple of things - mostly concerning Postgres

In the old days, I would say Postgresql hands down.  Back then, there
were big differences between them.  But now, they are mostly equal in
almost all respects.  I would say that the following is good advice:

* If your staff knows one or the other better, then use that one.
* If you need strict sql conformance, use postgresql.
* Otherwise if one works, and the other doesn't, use the one that works.
