Been using Postgres 7.1.2 for a site, with little to no problems.  The ones 
that I found have been fixed by the developers (Thanks Mike!)  It really is 
very easy especially, if you use makecat and a default catalog, it gives 
you the option to use PGSQL right there.  The only thing that you'll have 
to do beforehand, is create a user with appropriate permissions in PGSQL 
and a blank database.  The makecat program will ask you for the 
username/password, and the dbname.  The first time IC runs, it will 
automagically create the tables and import the default data from the 
products/*.txt & *.asc files)

Walla, IC running on PGSQL.  Very nice, very fast, very stable.

For PGSQL administration, I recommend something like phpPgAdmin, 
especially, if you're not familiar with postgres or databases in general.

As for specific docs, I dunno, I don't recall ever seeing them in the manuals.
