Note that if someone wants us to run PostgreSQL, they should put their code where their mouth is and adapt the software to run with it. :)
Adapting the software IMHO is not the main problem, what about all those sysop's depending on e.g. mysql syntax? And I think there are more open questions. But soon after getting the latex conversion at work, I start testing if I can gamble with wikipedia at home, and this requires wikipedia to run on postgresql - no way using mysql on my home system ;)
I don't think the syntax is that radically different. Most of what people do are simple SELECTS which should be pretty much the same across every database, ever.
