Some time back I sent out a message asking if PGSQL would be able to handle
my mailing list archive at http://www.geocrawler.com/ , and whether it would
scale up to 100MB.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, PostgreSQL is handling 1.8GB in just one table, and its
performance is amazing. I have archived 1,100,000 emails in the database and
I don't really see much slowdown yet.
I'm just stunned at how well this is working, and I keep pushing myself to
find more and more mail archives to add to my database.
It's fun! Check out the linux/freebsd/etc mail archives at geocrawler.com
