Client explored moving 200TB (two hundred terabyte) Oracle Exadata database to Postgres. I was part of a team that tried all manner of sharding and partitioning. Could not meet the benchmark set by the Exadata instance. Can kicked down the road five years.
- altdataseller 4y agoTheres a reason why Oracle is still a dominant “legacy” database.
- thorin 4y agoThere are plenty of reasons, a DBA I used to work with moved to the team running the LHC at CERN. I think I went to some conference talks of his. They had a lot of data!
- herodoturtle 4y agoHey thanks for the comment. By “benchmark” do you mean throughput? Or just the ability to store the data in general? I’m trying to get a real world sense of what’s possible with these databases at scale.
