The definitive answer is yes, PostgreSQL can handle this. You'll need to make
sure you have good hardware that matches the nature of your app (oltp/olap
and/or web/desktop). You'll probably want something that can do connection
pooling. You can get more help on the -performance list too, just make sure
you provide specifics. You might also want to look into getting commercial
support, though choice questions to the mailing list might be enough to steer
you on the right path.
