Around that time (2013) I knew a European defense contractor was trying to build a triple store that could inject a trillion or so triples a day without purging any; they went to an RDF specialist and a columnar database pro and they said "are you kidding me?"

I told them that they were not.

I have no idea what you just said. What do you mean by "meticulously designed linkages between folks"?

Nevermind. Makes sense now; that was the weirdest sentence that turned out to make sense that I'd ever read.

Which OSS/commercial database is currently best for high-performance scalable triple-stores? Is there anything that works with PostgreSQL?

Any specific reason for the triple store vs a generic sql or graph database? What queries would you be looking for that would be better served with a triple store vs another type of database?
