Seam/Hibernate and PostgreSQL -- Any issues?

I'm currently working on a project that makes use of Seam/Hibernate (JPA) on MySQL. I'm reconsidering moving towards PostgreSQL after investigating some of the features that it provides. My question is, is there anything I need to worry about with this configuration? Limitations? Gotchas? Things to watch out for? There will be some BLOBs stored in the database (images, X.509 certificates, etc.) Will that be a problem using PostgreSQL? Are there any particular configuration changes or tweaks that I should make in my Hibernate configuration? Thanks for any advice you can give!

To my knowledge, there are no particular issues with JPA/Hibernate and PostgreSQL. Actually, I would even say that this combo works very well, especially when dealing with Blobs. PostgreSQL JDBC driver provides a very good implemenation of java.sql.Blob (one of the view that supports lazy loading of blobs as mentioned in this thread). That's the only thing I had to say.
