Seems like I introduced a small misunderstanding here. The data doesn't
necessarilly go to a database; at least, none that we know about. The
goal here is to export (semi-)real time changes from our database to a
small number of interested parties[1]. It'll probably have to be in some
kind of XML format.

So far we've received some interesting suggestions. I particularly like
the idea of extending Slony-I with a "custom" frontend - though that'll
probably involve more work than a custom solution, it seems much more
powerful.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, everyone.

[1] Those parties probably store our data in a database (they'd be nuts
if they didn't), but that's something beyond our control.
