So if you know that you ascii chars are 8 bits, then you should be able to store a little over 134,000,000 characters. Uh, the hard limit is 1 gigabyte, not 1 gigabit. (Whether you can approach the limit with reasonable performance is another question ... I wouldn't try it in a 32-bit machine, for sure.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
