(I don't really need any more for my use case) You can certainly have hundreds of schemas. I wouldn't really recommend more than a few dozen databases per instance, though. It tends to bog down autovacuum, and remember you are storing a separate copy of the system catalogs per database. You might be able to make a few hundred databases work all right if you don't mind expending some tuning effort; but a few thousand is probably right out. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
