Is almost nobody using postgresql > on 8+ machines? My guess is when someone is using PostgreSQL on 8+ machine, she's in highly competitive (or sensitive) market and either cannot give company's work details to everyone or simply doesn't want to. Probably if you asked 'I am thinking about buying 8-way Opteron box, does PostgreSQL have problems with such hardware' you would get a response. But surveys are awfully close to statistics and many people simply doesn't like them. (They say that 46.7% of statisticts are just made up ;-)). Regards, Dawid
