I have quite a bit of experience with Rdb and a bit with PostgreSQL.
I'm pretty sure that Rdb can do more, and is almost certainly easier to
use for VMS folks and probably more efficient as well. Rdb is written
in BLISS who know the VMS internals and data structures and I doubt that
any port which is intended to remain part of some official distribution
could even remotely compete.
Wasn't there PostGress on VMS a while back?
