Huh? Your worried about complexity and lock in, so you want devs to replicate tried and true database features?

I can understand wanting to avoid Oracle lockin.... But Postgres?

There is no replication of features at all (backup/restore is fundamentally different - it exports the domain to disk, not the schema).

Well we could shift a deployment to Amazon RDS (Oracle or MySQL) quite happily in a couple of hours without having to rewrite everything because we used all the postgresql features...
