This is interesting.
If it better to modify Magento or Zend Cart (which seems to be more
powerful) by adding PostgreSQL support or modify Ubercart which has already
PostgreSql support?
There was Google summer of code project proposal in this year of adding
Magento modules to Drupal but I havent found any information about its
results.

I'm a programmer. Yes, I can create great application code.
Building shopping cart requires web design skills to create nice layout.
I do'nt have design skills. I can create ugly-looking cart application.

So it seems better to me to get some ready layout so that only program logic
can replaced.

How to use some other layout template with PostgreSQL to create nice cart ?

Cart application must write order to existing database.
There are existing reports which take order data from this database.
So I'm mostly interested on creating nice layout.
