Your large db doesn’t sound very large. If I want to run a query that requires visiting every row of my biggest table, I will need to run the query a total of 480 times across 96 different Postgres databases. Just `select id from block` will take days to weeks.

But, I can visit most rows in that dataset in about 4 hours if I use an OLAP data warehouse thing, the kind of thing you build on top of DataFusion.
