postgres-XL is based on PostgreSQL 9.2, so no.
Postgres-XL doesn't "run on" PostgreSQL. It's a modified (forked) version of PostgreSQL. > Or you can advise me any better solution.

Yes, that's true, but those limits are quite large, and you may be trying to solve a problem you don't and won't have.
