We've been considering taking another look at postgresql.  There was two
things that were rather lacking last time we looked at it and I was
wondering if you had any take on it:

1) Realtime replication was kludgy and unreliable.  This is a
requirement for us.  Has anybody had recent experience with it?  Is it
any better?

2) User management just plain stunk.  Defining users and their
permissions were done in a very limited fashion in a setup file.  Has
this gotten any better?
