  If you're dealing with money... now that is a silly reason.  Oracle
  is no more safe than PostgreSQL, it's called making a good backup. 

  I use PostgreSQL every day for money related transactions in the 
  hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

  Oracle is really only necessary if you need to run a HUGE database
  across multiple servers.  Otherwise, it's just a waste of money.
