I am looking for a good head to head comparison of the latest
rdbms's and how they match up performance scalibilty out of the
box with POSTGRESQL.

Thanks !!!

Alas, most commercial rdbms's (i.e., oracle, informix, MS SQL, etc.) do
not allow you to publish benchmark results for their product. So there is
no way to know.

I know there's been a certain amount of buzz over the
usefulness/methodology of the tests, but Great Bridge just published a set
of tests using "Major Proprietary #1", ...#2, etc. kind of terminology.

Of which #1 may or may not be Oracle, and #2 may or may not be MSSQL.

The page of followup details that GB posted a little later includes
version numbers of all the tested servers. These provide, um, a
pretty broad hint about the identity of Proprietary #1 and Proprietary
#2...
