"hell, after looking at
www.postgresql.org I wouldn't trust PostgreSQL to store my appointments"
The web site is gawdawful. It's clear that the core development team cares a lot more about hacking on the RDBMS itself than hacking on, or even supporting others who want to hack on, the web site.
It's a pity. Both Ben and I have in the past approached them about doing an OpenACS-based site but there's no interest. The folks associated with the web site itself are off by themselves in their own little lame world. They hate the notion of using AOLserver, Tcl, indeed anything that's not BSD+Apache+PHP. That would be fine if they'd put up something that's not a crock.
In case you haven't noticed, though, this site (openacs.org) is running PostgreSQL. Maybe you won't trust your appointments to PostgreSQL but by posting here you have entrusted your wisdom to PostgreSQL...
Henry ... boy, what a nightmare. I am *so* glad it was you and not me that had that joyful experience.
