1. Postgres is the best open source alternative to Oracle out there. Some
HA projects running on Postgres are (a) Redhat bugzilla and (b) .ORG TLD
name servers. I run a fairly heavy RT installation on Postgres without
any downtime so far.

There are some case studies at http://advocacy.postgresql.org/casestudies/.

2. Support - there are a number of companies that sell postgres
support. Redhat comes to mind (they have a product called RHDB that is
essentially postgres). Check postgres' website for others.

3. Please snip your .sig. It is horrible.
