Hi guys,
I would like to know if it is possible to have more than 1600 columns on windows without recompiling postgres.


I would like to know who on earth needs 1600 columns and even beyond?
Hint: you can have practically unlimited rows in your n:m table :-)


Well this screams random arbitrary limit to me. Why does this limit exist? What ever happened to the holy 0,1,infinity triumvirate?

I guess it eases implementation and there is no reason to go so high
on columns either. The limit could even be lower w/o and hurts but
1600 seems skyrocket high enough (read unlimited :-)
