Hi Eugene,

yes, in general, it is possible to store 1 000 000 000 rows in one table in MonetDB, provided your data and your system (hardware and operating system) meet the requirements as explained here: http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/UserGuide/resources

You do need 64-bit hardware, OS and MonetDB for such data volume.

We have MonetDB running a ~2.5 TB database which contains (among others) one table with 20 000 000 000 rows.

Hi,

is it possible to store 1 000 000 000 rows in one table or I need to use some partitioning algorithm?

Thanks, it's suitable for me. Are your databases for append data only or you use some algorithm to remove old historical data?

In the above mentioned (and most other) cases, our scenarios are mostly append only.
