i use postgresql for most of what i do. the most i've done with it only
has a few thousand rows, but from what i have read it should be able to
handle a million rows easily. i dont know if you have installed it as of
yet. the documentation is pretty good in some places, and sparse in
others. i went to a page once and it said something to the effect of: "no
documentation on this function yet.. feel free to write it for us" the
documentation is broken down into a users guide, sysadmin guide,
programmers guide.

what kind of front end are you thinking of using? i normally use php.
