[wplug] which one?

I use the Oracle client side stuff on RedHat 6.0 and 6.2 with no problems, 
but IMHO the Oracle install is a mess because of  it's reliance on Java.  I 
have taken to just copying the binaries and libraries around for the stuff 
I want and it seems to work fine.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with Postgres they 
would like to share.  I am thinking about using it for a medium sized 
(maybe a dozen tables, a dozen users, less than a million rows) but 
somewhat critical project.  MySQL is out of consideration because it lacks 
transaction logic.
