Postgres and really huge tables

[Brian Hurt <bhurt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any experience with Postgresql and really huge tables?  I'm 
talking about terabytes (plural) here in a single table.  Obviously the 
table will be partitioned, and probably spread among several different 
file systems.  Any other tricks I should know about?

We have a problem of that form here.  When I asked why postgres wasn't 
being used, the opinion that postgres would "just <explicitive> die" was 
given.  Personally, I'd bet money postgres could handle the problem (and 
better than the ad-hoc solution we're currently using).  But I'd like a 
couple of replies of the form "yeah, we do that here- no problem" to 
wave around.
