Funny coincidence!  I was just trying to get it to work with
PostgreSQL.  It mostly works, as already commented on the Jira issue. 
The only thing that seems to work unreliably is the initial template
creation.  It seems likely that it is the same issue.

But having looked into this I'm a bit worried about the current XEM
implementation.  I'm not an expert on Hibernate, but to me it seems that
entities are expected to be bound to specific tables at initialization
time.  So I'm wondering, does Hibernate really support changing the
mappings by switching databases or schemas underneath?  What prevents it
from generating prepared queries for accessing the entities, which will
be resolved against the initial database/schema, and continue to use
these even after the database or schema changes?


+1 for your action plan.
