I have a VPS which i run OpenERP with Postgres and currently I'm thinking to move my Drupal 7 ecommerce site from shared hosting to the VPS also. because the VPS are running only 512mb and OpenERP can only run on MySQL so I'm thinking to convert the database from MySQL to Postgresql for my Drupal commerce site.

So i'm trying to gather information see any fellows member here has problem using postgresql with contributed module here.

Hello Max,
There are lots (most) modules which work 100% with PostgreSQL, there are however a few which do not. I do not have a definitive list, so the best recommendation I can give is to try out the modules you are interested in, and If you find one that does not work with PostgreSQL let the developer (and us) know and someone may work on a patch for you.

I've run a number of Drupal sites off of PostgreSQL over the past three or four years, and I have to say -- it's probably not worth the trouble -- the pain you're going to suffer is not worth it. (And I can't tell you how much it pains me to say that, being a complete PostgreSQL fan and not a fan of MySQL.)

Sometimes, it's better to stay with the herd.
