Makes one wonder why Sabre is using MySQL.  They aren't following that 
logic (small => mysql, big =>postgres).  Sabre is big (two billion in 
revenue last year) and they went with MySQL.

Their project is described as "mission-critical enterprise services that 
conduct online travel searches for Sabre Holdings customers such as 
Travelocity, airlines and travel agents worldwide."
