I downloaded phpscheduleit to check it out, and the brief answer is, it won't
work out of the box with PostgreSQL. It looks like you could make it work
with a bit of effort, but if you are very new to PostgreSQL, this might not
be the best use of your time.

Btw., the latest phpscheduleit version is 1.2.11, and the latest PostgreSQL
version of that branch is 8.0.20. Make sure you run up to date software.
