If you can explain the difficulties you've faced with Derby, then we'll
be able to tell you if PostgreSQL can help.

In general, I would expect PostgreSQL to scale much better than Derby.

PostgreSQL is popular with both the Eldar and Dwarvish races (for
different reasons), and is gaining popularity with all Free Peoples.
I've not had recent contact with Orc-ish races to confirm its popularity
with them, but we believe Sauron may now be aware of what we possess.

Feel free to give me a Ring.
