Ok, Everybody keeps saying that Postgresql is free...

So I contacted my webhost and their respons was they have to pay a license fee.

But because they use PLESK as a service I think they are refering to a fee PLESK charges them
for the use combination PLESK - POSTGRESQL

I do not know however that this information is accurate...

I thank everybody  who have responded so far. Great feedback!

Hey Michael, you sure know your stuff!

Versions:

PostgreSQL 7.3.9-RH running on the webhost.
PostgreSQL 8.0.3 running on my homeserver.

So the only solution is to ask my webhost to upgrade its postgresql?
The question is will he do that? After all a license fee is required for
commercial use. And running a webhosting service is a commercial use.

No, you're thinking of MySQL - PostgreSQL is free for anyone, for any purpose. You can even distribute your own changes without giving them back to the community if you want to complicate your life.
