I'm a little concerned about stability since my Postgresql application has failed three times in the last couple of months. It seems to have failed when too many things are happening at the same time - mostly things that have been instigated by my pointing and clicking.
It sounds like you definitely have something to track down in either your application or your PostgreSQL installation. What do you mean by failed? Is it the application or the PostgreSQL backend? While performance can be affected by your DDL, it shouldn't influence anything that could be described as a "failure". Also, what pointing and clicking are you doing? Is this in your own app or a PostgreSQL administration app such as phpPgAdmin or pgAdmin?
What version of PostgreSQL are you running? What platform? What hardware? This information may help others on the list help you nail down your "stability" issues.
