I've written some extensions to postgres to implement
chemical structure searching. I get inquiries about
the performance of postgres vs. oracle. This is a huge
topic, with lots of opinions and lots of facts. But,
today I got some feedback stating the opinion that:
"Postgres performance diminishes with large tables
(we?ll be going to upwards of hundreds of millions of rows)."
It really depends. I have many customers with hundred of millions of
rows that don't have ANY problems.
