Wouldn't the above put a limit on a number of records one could have in table?
One have to use pg_dump/pg_restore to be able to upgrade between pgSql releases
and/or to backup data. If one cannot backup data and/or upgrade between pg
releases, then 4B records is the effective limit on the number of records in
pgSql ... or am I missing something?

Thanks
