I've been using PostgreSQL with Lutris Enhydra for my web apps and am quite
happy with the combination. Enhydra is open source and Java-based. One of its
centerpiece components is XMLC -- an XML compiler.
For more info on Enhydra itself, see: http://www.enhydra.org/software/enhydra
For a quick tutorial to get it up and running with PostgreSQL see:
http://www.enhydra.org/software/documentation/enhydra/NewApp-DODS-Tutorial-PGSQL.html
When the time comes to revamp the perl/CGI apps I developed before Enhydra I'll
very likely port them over as well.
HTH,
Jim
