I think the point he was making was that whatever db backend you use -- XML, sqlite, MySQL, Postgresql -- the way Gnucash works is to read the whole data from the database when it starts up, and only writes it back when you hit save. So as data is not being constantly written to Postgresql, it's not really any more reliable than XML.
