Ok, this is a real example:
CREATE TABLE account ( val1 BIGINT NULL, val2 BIGINT NULL, ...

I need to organize database structure for saving statistic data for
objects. I have about 24 * 31 * 4 fields (4 month, 31 days, 24 hours) of
data for one object. Each field contain 8 numbers (N in general). So:
object1 -> data -> field1, field2,...
object2 -> data -> field1, field2,...
...
How can I store this data in postgres database?
For example it may be 24 * 31 * 4 * 8 fields and 1 row per object in table - but it is not good idea, of course.
Or may be 8 fields and 24 * 31 * 4 rows per object in table, but table
looked very big...
You want to store rows with an object id, a field or fields storing the
hour and the 8 object fields (assuming these fields shouldn't also
be one per row - but without any more knowledge about them I can't say).
You should put a primary key constraint on the object id and the hour
field(s).
Or may be it's not good idea to use postgres for this purpose?
Without seeing what you are going to do with the data it is hard to say
if using a dbms is overkill or not.
