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.
