The biggest headache I find with using postgres is that various GPL
licenced programs have trouble directly shipping postgresql support
because of our use of OpenSSL. Each and every one of those program
needs to add an exception to their licence for distributors to
distribute postgresql support.

I'm thinking particularly of FreeRadius but there are others. More than
once I thought while waiting for stuff to compile: if I'd chosen mysql
I'd be done by now...

Have a nice day,
