It's actually the other way around (about the everything-in-database
bit, not the rock-solid bit). Snipped from 
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note033.html:

The Perforce Server stores two kinds of data: versioned files, and
metadata (changelists, opened files, labels, etc.). Both are stored in
the Perforce Server's root directory. Versioned files are stored in
depot subdirectories; there is one subdirectory for each depot in your
Perforce installation. Metadata are stored in the Perforce database.
