Converting drupal database from mysql to postgresql?

For a large production Drupal 6 site using mysql, I am wondering

  • Is it realistically feasibly to convert to postgresql?
  • What are the pros/cons of using postgresql instead of mysql?
  • Does the conversion worth the effort?
  • What is the easiest way to do so?

Thanks

Here's a few fresh links that might help you along:

http://dbconvert.com/convert-mysql-to-postgresql-pro.php

Most of the links on google are pretty old though and contain very outdated info, so beware.
