As I use the word, I'd say lets identify all the issues you
need to build a system you can count on 24x7:
1) You need good hardware AND backup plan for when it does fail
2) You need a source of uninterruptable power and a backup for
that too as UPSes fail.
3) You need a connection to the Internet and again a backup.
.....
10) You need a person who can setup and repair screwed up database
software...because the software _will_ mess up.
They are all just "issues" that need to be addressed
For the case of the guy asking the question #10 may be hard
as it is pretty clear _he_ has ZERO experiance with PostgreSQL.
So he either need to wait 'till he has some or find someone else.
The problem is with _him_ using Postgresql not withthe DBMS itself.
