Sergey,

> How stable is PostgreSql ?

More than Interbase :-)  More than MS SQL Server.  Maybe less than
Oracle or MySQL; it's open to debate.

Futher, because everything in Postgresql is "open" -- source code, data
files, system tables -- in the event of hardware or platform failure you
can always retrieve your data with text and file editors.

You may have trouble porting one thing, though ... at this time,
PostgreSQL does not support full stored procedures.  While the custom
function feature can fulfill many stored procedure purposes, you will
not be able to port your procedures over directly.

Full stored procedures are planned for Postgres, but not for a couple of
versions.
