I'm curious to know if adding PGSQL support to sourcemod has been considered at all

I've been getting awful nervous about MySQL's maintenance and availability every since Sun was bought out by Oracle, and Oracle beginning a holy legal war about the use of Java.I've been moving more and more of my own code to PGSQL, but with sourcemod being sqlite or mysql only, I'm a bit hindered in shutting down MySQL on my own box.

It has, and you should know since you asked the same question last year under a different name. I believe the tl;dr hasn't changed, and is something like: not enough people use it to make building/supporting such a feature worth while, and MySQL isn't going anywhere. (There are numerous non Oracle backed alternatives if you're really concerned.)

And Oracle lost that war, by the way.
