A postgres text field will accept line breaks with no problem:
INSERT INTO some_table ( id, name, comments )
VALUES ( 5, 'Truth', 'Truth needs no favor for her sword
Upon the field with Error
Nor are her converts ever made
By threat of harm or terror' );
However, depending on what tool/langauge you are using to interface with
postgresql, this may be more or less difficult.
