In real use you're unlikely to hit any limits, theoretical or practical, but if you start to use a silly number of tables and so on you're likely to hit performance issues eventually. I'm not sure where that threshold would be, but it's higher than "thousands".
Actually, the DB I have in mind would certainly be approaching "silly territory." I'm looking at a schema with around 10 thousand tables (or views). Unfortunately, as far as I can tell,
http://www.postgresql.org/about/ says nothing about maximum number of tables. I suppose I could always find what this limit is "the hard way", by writing a script that just keeps creating empty tables and see where that goes, but I'd prefer not to do something like this...
Anyway, thanks! (And to Joshua too!)
