If you're dealing with money... now that is a silly reason. Oracle
is no more safe than PostgreSQL, it's called making a good backup.
I use PostgreSQL every day for money related transactions in the
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Oracle is really only necessary if you need to run a HUGE database
across multiple servers. Otherwise, it's just a waste of money.
