I have 2 questions if anyone know the answer

1 - Is there a way to use Postgre SQL DB with CI?
2 - Is there any CI sample application with best practices like few input forms etc?

Thanks

Have a look at these two links:
http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/131807/
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pgsql.examples-basic.php <-- From the above thread

If not, I would try using PDO like so

Code:
&lt;?php 

$dbh = new PDO("pgsql:dbname=$dbname;host=$host", $username, $password );
