This seems to be a repeat of your previous message (perhaps there's a
mail loop somewhere) so I won't rehash the discussions we've had.
I'll just point out that SQL schemas and all that they imply are
coming in 7.3, so you may want to reevaluate PostgreSQL for your needs
at that point (it'll be a while though as 7.3 development has just
started).
