Re: [GENERAL] Success stories of PostgreSQL implementations in different companies

2013-05-24 Thread ocalderon
Thank you all of you for your answers! It helps me a lot because when I'm 
trying to convince a client to migrate to PostgreSQL sometimes they think that 
because it's free, it only works for small databases for web or desktop 
applications with a few users, while they blindly trust in oracle or sql server 
just because are propietary databases (oracle is understandable, but sql 
server...) But with your examples and the links provided I can even create a 
document recopiling those success cases to encourage clients to implement 
Postgres.

Regards.

Don't forget Instagram. :)

We're not quite that size, but our financial PG system peaks at 18k TPS 
and handles roughly a billion queries per day.

Thank you Wolfgang, just one question, what "bio" means? In the part that says 
"69 bio EUR..."

Not a company, but a pretty "big" installation, I guess: French Caisse
Nationale des Allocations Familiales (welfare agency) is running on
PostgreSQL:

123 local offices all over France
11 million families and 30 million people as "customers"
69 bio EUR annual turnover
168 databases, 4TB all databases together, largest database is 250 GB
1 bio SQL statements a day

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
