Mmm. Don't push this line of argument too hard. As I understand it,
Postgresql is used by the registry to keep track of their customers -
whois data, effectively.

The actual resolution is handled by a different database, or was back
when I knew the details of that end of .org.

I'm sure there's an Access database somewhere in Facebook, but that
doesn't mean Facebook runs on Access. :)
