We run Postgresql 8.3 on poseidon. By default, users do not get a database, but they can have one created automatically (remctl poseidon postgres createdb). Since the minimum database size for postgres appears to be 4mb on disk, it would be 7+gb if every user had one.
See Database_Backups for information on how we back up postgres.
