currently or will this be changed in the future?
My PostgreSQL 8.2 is now a little bit more then 900 GByte without and
3800 GByte with indexes and restoring a dump take several days on my
Opteron with 8 GByte of memory using 15000 RpM 300 GByte SCSI drives.
Note: I am already using "TableSpace" and "TablePartitioning" to fight
the enormeous size which is growing every day by arround 350 MB.
...and since I am not God or the absolute PostgreSQL guru (which
should redesign my Database-Structure) I have a bunch of "Large
Objects" in this pig which should be normaly on a fileserver or
such!
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
