Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the limitations are regarding records?
Say I have a table with 50 fields of 20 characters each.  If a table can
be 16 TB, how many records can it hold?

If you all have any other size benchmarks or such please include it.  Is
PG ready for huge db's?  How big is the biggest known?
