Hi,

recently i got a request for a database with a size of ~550 Gig!

So, I think Postgres should be able to handle this, is it?


I guess, that there are about 100 million to 1000 million table entries
and I need at least two tables (one references another one), better
three or more.


Can it handle such thinks, if there are sufficient hard discs? ;)


Thanks & Ciao
  Alvar
