Do you have an idea of how much specific company information you need? We
manage multi Tb db's (we've done postgres, oracle, and mysql btw), and we are
able to talk about some of our clients implementations, but for the most

If that level of detail is good enough for you, please drop me a line, we'd be
happy to help out.
