Mauricio,

> Hi,  is there any way to limit the database size??

First, this is a question for PGSQL-NOVICE or PGSQL-GENERAL, not this mailing 
list.

Second -- sort of.  You can put the database on its own hard drive partition.  
Then the database will crash when it runs out of space -- so I'm not sure 
that helps you.  

Of course, with other RDBMSs, which have administrative settings for size 
limits, the database shuts down when you're out of space.  So I'm not sure 
how useful the whole idea is.
