I'm not familiar with SNORT/ACID, but I assume that the DB
schema and queries are basically all identically for all the
databases.
Well, how such analyzis software can be implemented without
views and stored procedures is a mystery to me, but at least
it must do a whole lot of PHP-aerobics.
I'd say as long as the database is used as a stupid data
container and not as a relational database management system,
just don't use Postgres. It's not designed to be stupid, so
it doesn't work well if used stupid.
