Re: why postgres? SQLite is the way to go!

> small,

yes, it is small. pgsql isn't exactly huge however. the postgresql system isn't very large. the rpms on SUSE are ~10MB (includes the docs, stored procedure language and what not) and it's memory usage is also pretty good. we're not talking 100s or even dozens of MB of ram.

> fast,

not for the types of queries that are required.

and, as Scott mentioned above, this needs to support multi-process access which means locking and the whole bit. sqlite is great for the purposes it was intended for; this isn't one of them. =)
