If I had the space free on my SAN right now I'd try it. The 1600 column limit should be easy to test on every system with some scripts, no? >Also, I think people look at these numbers to determine if PostgreSQL >can handle their data needs 5-10 years down the road. At work right now I have a bunch of 2-3 TB databases using Oracle 8. We're expected to be using 60 TB in total storage about 2 years down the road (right now we're using about 20). I guess GIS databases and image databases might be the ones who would be more concerned about these sort of limits in the near term future? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(at)wxs.nl> / asmodai PGP fingerprint: 2D92 980E 45FE 2C28 9DB7 9D88 97E6 839B 2EAC 625B http://www.tendra.org/ | http://www.in-nomine.org/~asmodai/diary/ >From morning to night I stayed out of sight / Didn't recognise I'd become No more than alive I'd barely survive / In a word, overrun... ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
