Doing some forensic work on a Postgres 9.5 database that is in testing with
only 19 relations and over 100,000 sequences. Once this database goes live,
it could see in excess of 1 Million sequences created due to the complexity
of the application. There are obvious risks such as pg_dump issues and slow
response when scanning catalog table for info. But, are there any serious
issues that can show up from this situation? I know theoretically, postgres
can have unlimited tables in a database. But, I am looking for some
realistic worse case scenarios in an environment like the one described.
