Folks,
Thought you'd find this interesting:

... so if anyone tells you that PostgreSQL doesn't scale, point them to that.
Also, a quote from Information Week (the rest of the article isn't quoted
because it contains a number of inaccuracies):
"Netezza Corp. adopted PostgreSQL as the core of the database it developed in
2000-2001 to run inside its Netezza Performance Server 8000 data warehouse
system. That allowed developers to focus on other tasks and shortened the
startup's time-to-market by a year or more, says co-founder and CEO Jit
Saxena."
