Okay, first off my disclaimer:  I don't have a RaQ3 to test this...
But:  If you leave the databases created by Cobalt alone, then
there shouldn't be any problem here either.  As for commercially
developed, that doesn't mean much -- the only things lacking
from PostgreSQL are sub-selects and replication.  Speed is a
minor issue and that largely is a result of fsync() not being
very fast in Linux for db work.  Considering your average RaQ
user probably won't worry about replication that leaves only
sub-selects as a possible reason from that explanation, especially
when you take into account the companies now providing commercial
support for PostgreSQL.  ;-)
