vCenter Server Appliance 6.5, which will be the target database?
A.
Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012R2
B.
Microsoft SQL Server Standard 2012R2
C.
PostgreSQL
D.
Oracle DB 11g
C – OK
The vCenter Server 6.0 embedded Microsoft SQL Server Express database is replaced with an embedded PostgreSQL database during the upgrade to vCenter Server 6.5. The maximum inventory size that applied for Microsoft SQL Server Express still applies for PostgreSQL.

On page 115 of that doc, it goes deeper into this specific question.
Microsoft SQL Server Express is not supported for vCenter Server 6.5. The vCenter Server 5.5 embedded Microsoft SQL Server Express database is replaced with an embedded PostgreSQL database during the upgrade to vCenter Server 6.5. To upgrade without migrating to the PostgreSQL database, see the VMware
knowledge base article hĴpDZȦȦkbǯvmwareǯcomȦkbȦ2109321.
