Right. While I agree that PG is a great DB system, it's not what MediaWiki or Wikibase are primarily developed on and for. In theory, MediaWiki has full PG support, and we aim to also have that in Wikibase. But in practice, PG support is frequently broken especially in alpha and beta versions (and remember: what we run live on Wikipedia & Co is the alpha version; and for Wikibase, the alpha version is the only version so far). So PG is probably not the best choice for your Wikibase install. -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler, Softwarearchitekt Wikimedia Deutschland - Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.
