What is "real" scalability? I've used Mysql on tiny machines
(Tadpole laptop) to dual processor x86 boxen with 2 gig of memory,
and 6 way Sun e4500s with 4 gig of memory. Database sizes from
trivial to over 150G of tables on a single machine.

Oracle?
All your resources will belong to us.
I'm not knocking Postgress, the little I've used it, it seemed like
a nice DB. I've got a lot more experience with Mysql, and it too is
a nice DB. I've also support whOracle, and, well my mother said if
you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, but I never
listened to her much anyway. Oracle is a bloated stinking pig of a
money pit.
