[postgis-users] [OSGeo-Discuss] any spatial databases for high performance geo-computing

[Peter Baumann]

you might look at rasdaman running on top of PostgreSQL (www.rasdaman.org). 
Supports n-D arrays + an SQL-style array query language.

I think most of them are designed for failover, and they might not be able to stand up with the huge data size and high performance demands. the case is quite alike in oracle and db2 spatial, i think.
