Hi Ivan,

I was running a database with ~27GB of info (admittedly in large, very
simple tables) on PostgreSQL 7.0.3 a while ago for a few months.

Didn't have any real problems with it, apart from having to accept that
a lot of data takes time to process.  :-/

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
