Thread: 8 K Limit??

Our student government here at Northwestern is putting our legislation
archives online with Postgresql.  The only problem we encountered was
that there seems to be an 8 K table limit in Postgresql.  I was
wondering if there is a way around it or if version 6.5 will no longer
have this limitation.
Thanks,
Sean

No painless way. You can split long fields into separate rows with a
sequence number column so you can join the rows back together. You could
also store large data in files instead of in the database, with a pointer
to the file in a column.
