The current postgres backend is basically dead.  In the gnucash subversion 
trunk, there is now an SQL backend which supports sqlite, mysql and 
postgresql.  It has not been put into a release yet, but some people have 
built it and are testing/using it.  It supports all gnucash objects, including 
the business objects.  It is, at this point, single-user only i.e. doesn't 
support multiple using the same db at the same time.  At this point, there is 
no estimate when it will be available in a release.

I've been doing my testing with sqlite, and a little bit with mysql.  I've 
used postgres enough to verify that it does basically work.
