Just what are the insane requirements?
1. Having at least one competent DBA on staff who can tune PostgreSQL to actually serve that volume
2. There is no #2.
I was just going to post that, when I was a DBA, we did some comparisons of oracle and postgres (both properly set up and administered), and they were neck-and-neck. Then I decided to see if any other sane people had already posted, and here they are.
That said, snoofle has posted before about the DBAs he has to work with. I don't know if anyone he works with would have the sense to make some minor tweaks to the postgresql.conf file.
