I have a database that will hold massive amounts of scientific data. Potentially, some estimates are that we could get into needing Petabytes (1,000 Terabytes) of storage.
1. Do off-the-shelf servers exist that will do Petabyte storage? 2. Is it possible for PostgreSQL to segment a database between multiple servers? (I was looking at a commercial vendor who had a product that took rarely used data in Oracle databases and migrated them to another server to keep frequently accessed data more readily available.) Thanks. -Tony ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
