Considering that the system catalogs alone occupy about 5MB per database, that would require an impressive amount of storage... In practice I think users would be complaining about our choice to instantiate the catalogs per-database a lot sooner than they'd hit the subdirectory-count limit. BTW, there is another avenue that the OP could look into if he really wants this many databases on a UFS filesystem: split them up into multiple tablespaces. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
