Hi all,

I'm running a data warehouse in Postgres and I was wondering what the
max table size is column-wise and row-wise. I tried to search the lists
and documentation on the http://www.postgresql.org and the search isn't
working.

Thanks,

The limit on columns is between 250 and 1600 depending on data types in
recent versions of Postgres. I think that rows are only limited by the amount
of disc space available.
