If I had the space free on my SAN right now I'd try it.

The 1600 column limit should be easy to test on every system with some
scripts, no?

At work right now I have a bunch of 2-3 TB databases using Oracle 8.
We're expected to be using 60 TB in total storage about 2 years down the
road (right now we're using about 20).

I guess GIS databases and image databases might be the ones who would be
more concerned about these sort of limits in the near term future?
