Greeting
PostgreSQL Gurus… From my goggling
I know this has been discussed before and from what I have read it seems that
the consensus is you can re-compile postgres and increase the block size from
8k to 16k or 32k to double or quadruple this limit. I re-compiled
the latest 9.0.1 source rpm on CentOS 5 x64 setting --with-blocksize=32 but
when I tested it I still get the error "Error: tables can have at most
1600 columns" pg_controldata
verifies the block size is "Database
block size: 32768" I
also tried to increate the WAL block size to see if that had any effect but it
does not. So is what I have read wrong? Is there are hard limit of 1600 that
you cannot get around? - Mark |
