Didn't someone say that RedSheriff had a 10TB postgres database or 
something?
From http://www.redsheriff.com/us/news/news_4_201.html
According to the company, RedSheriff processes 10 billion records a 
month and the total amount of data managed is more than 32TB. Griffin 
said PostgreSQL has been in production for 12 months with not a single 
database fault in that time The stability of the database can not be 
questioned. Needless to say, we are extremely happy.

I think it's safe to assume this is not on a spare Dell 600SC though.

I think we should have a case study for that. And publish it on our regular 
news/press contacts(Can't imagine the flame war on /...Umm Yummy..:-)). It would 
make a lot of noise and gain visibility for us.

Of course Red Sherrif need to co-operate and spell the details and/or moderate 
what we write, but all in all, 32TB database is uber-cool..:-)

You might want to fix the month on your system time.

With respect to how big PostgreSQL databases can get in practice, these
are our two biggest implementations:

- 0.5 Tb GIS database (this maybe upwards of 600-700Gb now, I didn't
check)

- 10 Gb OLTP system with 70 million rows and a typical working set of
2-3 Gb.


Postgres is definitely capable of handling large pretty databases with
ease.  There are some narrow types of workloads that it doesn't do so
well on, but for many normal DBMS loads it scales quite well.
