[ADMIN] Do Petabyte storage solutions exist?

2004-04-01 Thread Tony Reina
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

Not really answering the question but I thought I would post this anyway as it may be of interest. If you want to have some fun (depending on how production-level the system needs to be) you can build this level of storage using Linux clusters and cheap IDE drives. No April foo's joke! I have

let alone the storate limit of 2GB per table. So sadly, PG would have to bow out of this IMHO unless someone else nukes me on this! I just checked the PostgreSQL website and it says that tables are limited to 16 TB not 2 GB. -Tony ---(end of

Yeah, move on over to Oracle. Even on older versions the file limit may have been 2GB, but a tablespace could have more than one datafile. The true limit there is 4194303 blocks where a block can be 2KB, 4KB, 8KB, 16KB, 32KB, 64KB and with 10G comes 128KB. Then each table/index can have

AFAIK Postgres uses an internal limit of 2 GB per table file with a lot of files per table to make up some Terabytes. So don't worry! Let's see what one of the gurus will tell us. Bye. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von Tony and Bryn

[ADMIN] plpgsql editor(s)?

2004-04-01 Thread Andrew Biagioni
Can anyone recommend an editor (windows OR linux) for writing plpgsql code, that might be friendlier than a standard text editor? Nice features I can think of might be: - smart tabbing (1 tab = N spaces) - code coloring (esp. quoted strings!) - parens/brackets matching Thanks, Andrew
