Well, PostGreSql has all of those features, but handling 100GB? Not sure & not sure I'd trust it that far.

I think he is talking about 100GB database. Can PostgreSQL and MySQL handle that size? We used MySQL in some of the web projects, but it just stores small set of operational data and later on those data are moved to Oracle as a permenant store. For small set of data, MySQL is quite good, but it lacks features such as foreign key constraints, triggers etc.
