I don't know much about postgres, but wouldn't some partitioning and
replication help?
For such a large (which is not THAT large) data set usage patterns need to be
taken into consideration, I don't think any DBMS would excel at handling it
out of the box.
I think last time I asked somebody from DSA (sorry, I don't remember who that
was, but it was on #d-qa) he mentioned some issues with postgres' replication
features. Checking now, it seems that even the in-core replication in 9.0+
wouldn't fit us, but slony and pgpool2 seem like they could do it. Can anyone
familiar with the subject please comment?
Cheers,
