There is one thing holding me back still from mongo or I'd be using it right now instead of Postgres: native decimal support [1].

There are a lot of proposed work arounds, and some surely work fine if you're only dealing with 2 decimal currency.

The solutions don't scale for arbitrary precision based on the field.

The new aggregation framework is a fantastic step forward and from my testing is relatively peppy, even at a 150k document collection.

Side note: Anyone know a nosql solution that doesn't treat decimals as floats?

A native decimal datatype would be awesome indeed.
