I’m by no means suggesting they abandon RDBMS, just that they shift large textual / binary content out of it, and store pointers instead. You can store essentially anything in an RDBMS, especially Postgres. That doesn’t make it the right choice. It might make it easier, but easier isn’t the same thing as correct. I am of course biased as a DBRE, since I’m the one who gets paged about problems caused by decisions like this. Then I get to deliver the uncomfortable news that everything needs to be overhauled, and inevitably am told that’s not going to happen, and to just figure it out.
