We're looking at about 100 users (for now), and a dataset starting at about 3 million rows. This will grow steadily through the years though, at a rate of about 3+ million rows per year.

I actually had my head buried in the sand solely thinking of MySQL, only for sake of familiarity. But this framework looks fantastic - I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with. And I have little doubt that PostgreSQL has plenty of power to pull this sort of project off.
