In it's default configuration Postgresql autosplits table at approximately 1 gigabyte. Therefore, it has no built in limit to table size. If you have an OS that can handle larger files, you can compile postgresql to use larger file sizes. I have seen no great improvement in speed in using one large file for a table over splitting at 1Gig. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
