Hi

I am trying to get information about the Scalability options available for
PostgreSQL. Assuming you a database that has a huge volume of reads and
writes happening, what options have you got to scale your database. Many
commercial RDBMS' allow the clustering of Database servers and some other
options. What options are available for PostgreSQL?

Thanks
Craig

The website (contributed software area) lists some. But you'll need
to be more specific than "huge volume" to get reasonable answers from
this list (or preferably the postgres performance list).
