Row Limit?

I'm in the process of convincing a developer to not use MySQL for a web
based application.  While trolling around several sites I noticed the
1600 attributes (columns) limit of PostgreSQL.  Now I can't even beging
to think of an application that would need that many I can see the MySQL
inclined comparing it to their 2945.  Since PostgreSQL has joins I was
wondering if this limit applies to physical tables only or are views
limited to 1600 attributes.


TIA,
Rod
