In my experience, Postgres tends to have much better performance when you
start throwing things like transactions, foreign keys, and concurrent
reads and updates of the same table into the mix, all of which are things
that should probably be used by Nagios. I understand that InnoDB helps out
MySQL a lot with these things.
I haven't had much experience writing to an abstraction library, so I
can't speak to that.... but I would suggest that even if the abstraction
layer lets you use a database without transactions, subselects, or foreign
keys, don't stop using those things just so Nagios can run in more places.
Those are important features.
