What was the specific problem with postgreSQL that you have had?
I'm a debug expert of sorts and can understand the what's & why's about it
and never hold what anyone says about a program's problems as I prefer to
see the problem myself. Just FYI.

Not withstanding the shameless plug from Daniel ;-) ... I've had success
with MySQL both using it natively as well as working with OOo. I've never
had alot of success with postgreSQL but that could just be my setup.
