Practically all of the install manuals suggest using MySQL.
Using something else may introduce incompatibilities.
For my part, I don’t have the background to understand Things to find out about when moving from MySQL to PostgreSQL. Be certain that you do.

It would be a big job. A good first step would be to refactor the code to an object oriented data model.

I’ve done some of this before (mysql -> postgresql). It’s possible but you’d have to change the statements within the PHP since some of the SQL syntax is a little different. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to fork the project to your own.
