Given these limited examples, I wonder if someone would be willing to discuss their large PostgreSQL DB? I would like to write an article for my blog.
The driving factor for me is that, in my local community college, where I am taking database classes, the (admittedly biased) Oracle pros who are teaching the classes keep referring to PostgreSQL as "light". Even when I bring up the Yahoo example, they respond with, "I've never seen that". While I can truly appreciate their bias (I am surely biased in quite the opposite direction), I think they need to be willing to acknowledge that their understanding of Postgres is limited.
I am here in Charlotte, North Carolina, home to the SouthEast LinuxFest and a member of the Charlotte Linux User Group. I also did a presentation at SELF on the Ltree extension module. In a prior life, I was the Editor-in-Chief of LXer.com.
Again, I would love to write an article about Postgres running large datasets (TB & PB range), if anyone would be willing to discuss such an animal. I would like to focus on how you are using your Postgres and what hardware you're running on, in somewhat similar fashion to the Yahoo article.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I realize I'm preaching among evangelists on this list, but maybe some of the folks here know someone who might be willing to talk?
