In it's default configuration Postgresql autosplits table at approximately
1 gigabyte. Therefore, it has no built in limit to table size.
If you have an OS that can handle larger files, you can compile postgresql
to use larger file sizes. I have seen no great improvement in speed in
using one large file for a table over splitting at 1Gig.
