A friend of mine is a Microsoft DBA for mid-sized companies and was proclaiming how you can't do anything serious with Postgres. He said he was shocked to discover it didn't even have a query planner.
Leaving mocking him to one side for a moment - is there any plausibility to his broader claim that MSSQL can handle things at a scale where Postgres would be a poor choice? My gut instinct is that this is nonsense but I'm not a DBA by a long stretch.
