Assuming that a system should switch RDBMSs is a waste of time without

less clustering. Not to mention that the existing system is not taking
advantage of ANY PostgreSQL functionality that is not already present in
MySQL. So gaining performance and clustering is reason enough for me.

You gave no reasons initially ... and with facilities being added all the
time, the reason to change may evaporate before a change is made?
Have you looked at the alternatives as well since you seem to have some work

to do rather than simply changing the data source?

I'm being told I have to switch to MSSQL or Oracle but the customers can't
provide justification to do that as yet and since we are only up to a couple

of gigabytes of data replicated across machines I am always looking for
informed explanations of why a switch is necessary ;) i.e. why one database
may be more appropriate than another.

The lack of proper comparison information does make it difficult at times :(
