Re: [postgis-users] [!! SPAM] Re: may have postgis store limits for a big project?
Sorry yuriesky for the unintended hijack of your thread... Both arguments are very interesting... and I am interested in both of them... Probably we could split the thread. Guys, do you follow any convention in this list for splitting treads ?

Don't forget to assign a reference system to your raster when converting it to .sql (-s gdal2wktraster's option) and to construct an index on the table (-I option). with Oracle 11g GEORaster it is possible to compress the rasters (and get lower performance of course)... in my case the compression rate is up to 600 !!!... so the amount of data is drastically reduced... WKT Raster relies on PostgreSQL for compression.

There is no real limits to PostGIS... It handle very well millions of row of vector data. What are your apprehensions?
