Shoking. NOT. No replacement for Oracle.

I doubt oracle would be doing any better and would cost a hell of a lot more. Facebook is pretty much in uncharted waters with their scaling. Look for another custom solution similar to haystack or scribe that fits their specific requirements.

What's the backend RDBMS here on FR?

Of course, Perl is the glue but I wonder if the database access is via the DBI layer or if it uses the native APIs?
