The difference is HE put forth an opinion about the pg developers

statement of fact regarding scalability in apparently all usage

Agreed. It's just that, because I know quite a few of the engineers
working on Oracle and SQL Server, it generally pisses me off to see
people make blanket statements about one group being smarter than
another when they probably have no basis for comparison. It's all
good though, I'm just cranky tonight.
I still haven't seen a post regarding the Oracle scalability issue.
Where is the data??
