Hi, Im very new to this list please excuse me if ive posted to the wrong place. I was just wondering if postgresql has support for SMP/threads ? I was also wondering how scalable it is ? At work we are considering whether to switch to oracle or continue with postgresql. We currently use postgresql, with no problems and excellent response time (with data mining). But we are wondering what happens when the database gets huge. Currently its run on a p3/300 with 198 megs of ram, and it services 80 hospital locations. Im considering a larger p3, with alot more ram and with a raid array, or maybe something like a SunE450 to run it.
