As of version 8.4 PostgreSQL has some exciting features that will help this cause.

The argument i see here is that media files are hard to work with due to Schemaless database design needs.

As an example, this how Django/Python handles Schemaless design in PostgreSQL:

I hope that XBMC considers using PostgreSQL or adding PostgreSQL support. SQLite is terrible.

Although I don't know enough about how XBMC operates under the hood, I really enjoy using XBMC and would like to get involved in making it better.

"SQLite is terrible."

I'd also like to see postgres support. Why not supporting
multiple databases and let the user choose? I see so many
projects (postfix, dovecot, owncloud etc.), which support
many databases.

Hi!
I would also like to see postgresql support. Database support makes sense when using multiple kodi machines to keep the libraries in sync. As I use postgresql for other usecases, I had to set up mysql for kodi only.
Please add postgresql support!

Since kodi lacks a proper DB abstraction layer, this is not going to happen.
