Actually the theorectical limit for the Mammoth system is 10,000 tables,
we have only tested up to 1000. This is metioned quite clearly on the
website.
It should be noted that if Slony-I won't do what you need then Mammoth
probably
would not either.

Although Mammoth can add new tables on the fly as long as those tables
are empty. If they are not empty they would cause a full sync to occur.
