Read the comment 2 comments above yours. I'd say Postgresql, with Slony replication must be good for something if "It serves the .org and .info TLDs". Sure maybe it isn't designed to run data-warehousing applications, but then neither is Oracle designed to run personal blogs or MySQL designed with transactions in mind. But hey if MySQL is good enough for Yahoo!, it must be good for something in some particular role no?
If that isn't enough proof that Free Software is capable of performing in a production environment then I don't know what is. I guess the world really would be a better place if we all just ran SQL Server or Oracle or DB/2...
Really?
