Subject: Re:  PostgreSQL Specific Bayes Storage Module

I think Malte has a point -- we need to pick the best and stop there.
However, supporting two open source SQL databases does not seem
excessive.  mysql and postgresql cover most usage.  Yes, mysql is more
popular for open source stuff and it's *currently* faster for us, but
there are several points in favor of postgresql that I believe warrant
our inclusion of it:

1. It is probably a safer way to store data.

2. It has a more compatible license: MySQL is GPL and MySQL AB takes the
   aggressive position that you need a separate license from them to use
   MySQL in any non-open-source product without placing your code under
   the GPL.  http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/faq.html

Similarly, I could see us supporting one more local database, but since
DB_File seems safe and the license is certainly compatible, it would
only be for performance or ease-of-use reasons.
