Challenges with huge postgresql deployments in 300+ TBs - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

We have an oracle deployment running in 300+ TB. Apart from migration challenges, do we foresee any operational challenges? I have not heard of something huge prior. This would be highly helpful in planning further.

Few challenges which caught my attention include,
  1. Backup, restore of such a large database
  2. Recovery of a broken database (A lost replica)
  3. Fixing a standby that lags a lot
  4. Triggering a PITR with any backup tools
  5. Maintenance at times
  6. Finding equivalents of oracle items (which is common during any oracle to postgres migration)
I dont see any limits in database/ objects as specified in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/limits.html

Thanks and Regards,
Kavya
