I think they are actually trying to pull it out of the dumpster, whether from desperation of marketing acumen no one knows. I think they've gone back to the 'if we can get them hooked on a dual opteron box, we can sell them some massive E10000' or whatever.

If you're running Solaris on x86, then you're free to try PostgreSQL out there. It works quite well on SPARC; it is not evident that/why it _wouldn't_ work on the x86 version.
On the other hand, the impression that I got was that the "pushing" taking place with Solaris x86 was more of the "into the dumpster" sort than "pushing hard to customers." I thought their new strategy involved Linux on x86... -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "gro.gultn" "@" "enworbbc")) http://cbbrowne.com/info/spreadsheets.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #220.
