Postgres-8.x support? Upgrading from 1.8.2

I had designed a nice site using version 1.8.2, but it broke when I upgraded postgres to the 9.x series. Because I have used postgres for more than a dozen years (and sqlite occassionally) I see no need to install, learn, and support a third dbms: mysql. If the current version 1.1.0 will work with postgres I'll do the upgrade from 1.8.2 through 1.9.4.2 (assuming that I don't need to have the application running).

My alternative is to host the site externally with someone who runs and knows mysql. If I do that, can I take my existing data and cmsms site format files and move them to the new installation running 1.1.0? I'd really hate to have to start from scratch designing a web site, particularly since I don't have the time to do so.

Your advice and suggestions are appreciated,
