How many tables and rows can PostgreSQL theoretically and then
practically handle? What is the largest database size possible? What
was the biggest database you've ever had on PostgreSQL? What were the
challenges and what kind of hardware and OS works best?

What is an effective way to predict database size when designing
tables?

regards,
