max table size

[Alan Carbutt]

Hi all,

I'm running a data warehouse in Postgres and I was wondering what the
max table size is column-wise and row-wise. I tried to search the lists
and documentation on the http://www.postgresql.org and the search isn't
working.

Thanks,

The limit on columns is between 250 and 1600 depending on data types in
recent versions of Postgres. I think that rows are only limited by the amount
of disc space available.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to ma*******@postgresql.org)

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
