...and I can even top that.  I had an Intrusion Detection System proof
of concept which logged to a Postgresql database.  This database
received 10-15 Million inserts a day and I was required to keep 90 day's
worth of data. Most of the elects were done in batch during "slow" times at 
night.  Some of the queries were expected to run in "near-real time."
And might I also add that postgres did just fine...
