I am pretty sure he means the top level domains (registration, root
DNS server updates, etc) are all run off PostgreSQL.
In terms of raw performance, I would also recommend reading the
article on CNAF (1 Billion SQL queries a day) at http://pgmag.org/.
It may not be a web site....
Etsy also uses PostgreSQL.
My experience is that PostgreSQL performs quite well under extremely
varied loads.
However, I think you are asking the wrong question. I think the key
questions are:
1) What do you want in an RDBMS?
2) What options are there available in both?
3) What doors do I want to leave open in the future that one or the
other provides?
Best Wishes,
