My preliminary testing shows that the PostgreSQL backend does everything out prod set up does with an Oracle back end, only faster (I can only assume that this is because PostgreSQL is not bound to 1 GB of memory like XE). This includes:
registering hosts managing software channels managing configuration channels installing and updating packages on systems with yum scheduling actions jabberd + osad WORKED right out of the gate I've not tried SSM or kickstart (I won't be testing kickstart since we don't do that today). I can't say for sure whether performance or stability will degrade over time or not, as I am using a limited amount of clients, channels, and packages for testing.

More precisely, which main functionalities still does not work ? Kickstart ? SSM operations ? What about the whole osa-dispatcher – jabber – osad communication ? I try to know if I can get rid of oracle and still have a usable (even limited) “spacewalk” and the wiki is a bit succinct about that :).
