Обсуждение: Large database
I'm considering using Postgresql for an application which could very likely require a database to grow up to about 200 000 000 records in one table.
1. Is this possible with Postresql on Linux?
2. What's the biggest known database currently running on Postgresql?
Thanks for your help!

Is this possible with Postresql on Linux? Given that there are no theoretical limits of table length (IIRC), then yes. Performance may suffer. > 2. What's the biggest known database currently running on Postgresql? Well, UKMS is running a database that has a table with one record for every file or page served to any user. It's pretty big, at least of the order you describe. The size on disk of the database is 167GiB. It runs just fine, and that's on linux on intel hardware. -- Sam Barnett-Cormack Software Developer | Student of Physics & Maths UK Mirror Service (http://www.mirror.ac.uk) | Lancaster University
