Did you find this via
http://www.reversecurity.com/2011/04/new-details-from-psn-hack.html ?
That was the only Google-indexed source leading to it I found. I just
left a note there about the silliness of these claims. I could run more
than a 10M row PostgreSQL instance on my phone. Unless there's a new
16-bit only Vic 20 port of PostgreSQL available or something, it's seems
unlikely the data had to be partitioned due to any hard limit.
