I noticed the same - the "explosion of tables" when I was doing the actual designing. But, almost accidentally, it also turned out that the tables were almost all either 5NF or 6NF. So I thought this is just a highly normalized setup anyway - something traditional databases are supposed to be designed for.

The list of Postgres-basd extensions mentioned in this thread turned out quite relevant actually! I'm still going through them all, seeing if I can reuse something..

Many thanks for the inputs, quite helpful.
