It's quite straighforward to get PostgreSQL up and running with many
terabytes of data, so long as you respect the design trade-offs in some
options. What you can't do is say those are wrong and reject
alternative implementation suggestions just because they're not
"enterprise". Whenever anyone uses that word at me, I mentally replace
it with "super duper", and
There's no "fundamentally good design", but only a design which takes
limitations and constraints into account.
You mean like taking into account the fact that partitioning performance
has an unavoidable trade-off, where you have to balance the query
optimizer overhead of supporting many partitions against the improvement
from splitting data into smaller pieces?
