David,

First of all, it's considered very rude to cross-post to 5 different mailing 
lists.  pgsql-advocacy is the right list for this question; please don't post 
to more than one list at a time in the future.

You may not be aware, but we have a large French PostgreSQL community:
www.postgresqlfr.org

I know that Jean-Paul and Dimitri have experience in porting applications, so 
you should probably contact them to get local help & information on comparing 
the two DBMSes.
