you. i hope this is right.

Are there other Limitations? If yes, what are.
I've a big project in my mind (may be 100 Gb of data) so i must know the
numbers

Thank you for your answer and good job!

There are no maximum sizes that we are currently aware of *except* for the
number of rows that can be in a database, which, I believe, is limited
athtis time to a 32bit int (oid) ...

Other then that, we had a bug in pre-v6.5 servers that due to the 2gig
limitation on files in some OSs, a problem did occur, but this bug is
fixed in v6.5 ...

No limits.

100GB is fine. Use 6.5 beta for testing. Some platforms had bugs in
2gig files, though I believe alpha was OK for that.

I will write this in the FAQ. This is a good point.
