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?
