Are you trying to to do a bad April Fool's joke?

A "2GB limit" is simply nonsense. I work with a number of databases
where tables contain >>2GB of data.

While there are some of the "pointy-clicky" approaches to clustering
and replication that aren't "there" for PostgreSQL, a '2GB limit' is
certainly NOT one of the reasons to avoid PG.
