I have a couple questions before I start a large project using postgres.I'm posting this to the hackers list because if
theanswer to any of
these questions is no, if somebody explains why, I would be glad to help
implement some features once I get into using it everyday. So, here we go:
1) How much data can postgres handle? If I'm restricted by maximum
file size in the OS, can I segment the data file, and if so, how many times?
2) Can I store the indexes for the database on a separate drive from
the data itself? This is useful so that I can place the indexes on a
solid state disk for fast searching, and leave the data on traditional medium.
3) Is there a maximum number of records per table? i.e., if I can
segment the data file, can I still only have 2 gigs of data per table?
