Hi Mark, (1) The reason the examples use embeddable databases is because installation of postgresql is not trivial and varies from platform to platform. However, converting them to use postgresql is trivial; you need to set three properties.xml parameters: the database implementation needs to be org.apache.manifoldcf.core.database.DBInterfacePostgreSQL, and you need a dbsuperusername and dbsuperuserpassword. The How To Build And Deploy page describes this.
(2) As for the proper version of postgresql, we've tested with 9.2 I believe, but since I'm primarily a windows user and postgresql's windows install bricked one of my machines, I've been leery of trying that lately. ;-) Hopefully someone else can let you know whether 9.3 has been tested or not. OR, you can try it and run the tests yourself: ant test-pg is the invocation. Thanks!
