Обсуждение: Database/table size
Hi. Sorry if this has already been answered or documented. I lately got into an argument with a colleague about commercial vs. free databases (how rare). The question is, can PostgreSQL handle multi-gigabyte tables under Linux? I skimmed through the PostgreSQL documentation about limitations. It said "64 TB on all operating systems" and "limited to available disk space and memory/swap space". So, how large tables can you have in PostgreSQL on a Linux/Intel box? What about other Unices/architectures? Timo
