[development] Do not let postgresql hold back great patches

[Ken Rickard]

Is there a reliable way to search for patches requiring pgSQL testing?

Perhaps these sorts of things should be committed and then separate
issues opened for pgSQL testing?

In the case of this issue, ALTER IGNORE will not work on pgSQL. [Will
follow-up there.]

It is also possible (and quick) to run EXPLAIN against pgSQL if we
have a list of queries that I could test.

Note: Not a pgSQL guru, but have it installed on the Mac.
