I too like PostgreSQL but my first choice of database would
be SQLite because it avoids all the network and administrative
overhead associated with a database server.  I would use
PostgreSQL as a second choice if I really needed to run the
database and the web server on different machines or if there
were more than one client connecting to the same database.  Is
that your case?

(Oh and in case you ask: you do not need ODBC to talk to an
SQLite database).
