Maximum length of column/table name | 63 |
Maximum number of columns per index | unlimited |
Maximum number of table level constraints per table | unlimited |
Maximum active concurrent transactions | unlimited |
Maximum data format descriptor size | 63 characters |
Maximum database, user, base table, view, index, trigger, stored procedure, UDF, UDT, constraint or column name size. | 63 characters |
Maximum sessions per parsing engine | No concept of parsing engine other than masterDB node. No fixed limit, up to a few hundred. |
Dimensions listed as unlimited are not intrinsically limited by Greenplum Database. However, they are limited in practice to available disk space and memory/swap space. Performance may suffer when these values get unusually large.
Note: There is a maximum limit on the number of objects (such as tables, views, indexes, but not rows) that may exist at one time. This limit is 4294967296 (2^32).
