Both xTuple web sites (www.xtuple.com and www.xtuple.org) run on Drupal/Postgres, and our xChange app store runs on ubercart.

BTW, we've also integrated Drupal with the CRM and sales functionality in xTuple - www.xtuple.com/webportal.

We've had zero issues with Postgres support in Drupal.

In fact I even saw a request to eliminate postgresql support in Drupal 7 (that was taken care of by the valiant efforts of the PG community) : http://drupal.org/node/337146

Again, it is relevant because of certain (older) benchmarks which denote significantly worse performance because of the suboptimal way that Drupal integrates with Postgresql : http://mikkel.hoegh.org/blog/2008/oct/13/drupal-database-performance-mysql-postgresql/
