When I tried to select a big amount of rows, psql complains a error "Cannot add cell to table content: total cell count of 905032704 exceeded."
We should use long for ncolumns and nrows and give a more obvious error message here.
Any thoughts? or some other hidden reasons?
9 millions cells seems more than realistic a limit for a psql query result output. In any case it isn’t a bug, the code demonstrates that fact by producing an explicit error.
I wouldn’t be adverse to an improved error message, and possibly documenting said limit.
