- User Interface for Managing Installed PT4 Products
Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2025 12:02 pmSuggestion for the PokerTracker 4 Development Team
The custom stats and custom columns stored in PostgreSQL are limited to approximately 1600 columns. This creates a problem for users who, over the years, have installed multiple third‑party products—whether paid or free—and accumulated so many custom columns that they eventually reach this limit.
When this happens, the user is left with only two options:
- Contact the developer of the product to have it removed (and in many cases that developer is no longer available).
- Contact your support team to deactivate the product, which results in permanently losing access to it.
To avoid this situation, I would like to suggest adding a section within PT4 where users can manage which products or stat packages are actively loaded into their database, and which ones remain stored in their repository without consuming custom column space. This would give users more autonomy and prevent the irreversible loss of products they have acquired.
