Right now? No. Supporting a 2nd database engine is a pretty big task, and something that would require a lot of demand before we'd consider it (more than, say, supporting a new feature that doesn't already have an existing equivalent). There are no plans going forward to support PostgreSQL at this time.

That doesn't mean that can't change, of course - it really depends on customer demand. We weigh demand against the ease of supporting the feature, and make our decisions from there.

In other words, don't necessarily remove your vote for PostgreSQL support because you think we'll never support it - because if everyone does that, we probably won't. Just vote for what you want and we'll take it from there. :>
