Hi :) Good point!! An external database is a really good approach. Many people go for MySql or MariaDb (unless using a Mac) but that's owned by Oracle and some worry about the future of "free" or "Open Source" under Oracle. Many go for faster, lighter java back-ends such as Hsqldb as an external but others worry about the whole java issue.
So Postgresql might well be a good choice. They have put a lot of work into building a decent connector for Base.
