Well, logic suggests that Salesforce was considering moving to Postgres
but, either because they got a good deal from Oracle or they were just
bluffing about moving to Postgres, they are no longer considering it.
The size, scope, publicity, and duration of the deal support this

The press release specifically mentions Oracle Database.
Of course, there might be some other conclusion, logical or illogical,
but I can't think of one.
