Обсуждение: More about large objects

According to the postgresql docs, (at
http://looking-glass.usask.ca/postgresql/docs/postgres/largeobjects.htm)


Originally, Postgres 4.2 supported three standard implementations of large
objects: as files external to Postgres, as UNIX files managed by Postgres,
and as data stored within the Postgres database. It causes considerable
confusion among users. As a result, we only support large objects as data
stored within the Postgres database in PostgreSQL.

Now I'm confused.  From what I'd gather from earlier today, Postgres used
external files.  Are the docs that out of date?

Which docs? What were you gathering, and where??

 Could someone point  me  to  a  document  that  lists  the  limitations  of
 PostgreSQL  ?  I am specifically interested in limitations on the number of
 rows that can be present in any one table.

 Thanks
