Thats good enough for me, thats exactly what I want. I just used the
select count() on the root to get a feeling of how many rows it was in
total. An then I thought that the error message was just a configuration
issue. But since doing operations like that on the the root table of this
magnitude is not a good idea, I won't.

Thank you for that prompt reply.

In all fairness, thats why I asked the question here, to find out the
facts, not to be abused for being ignorant about pg.
