Hi Thufir,

You will find here [1] the BaseX current limitations.

The only limit I found was the maximum number of XML nodes in a collection.
But I never handled more than 100 Gb of content.
You can safely add documents by enabling the ADDCACHE option [2]; May the 
collection overflow, the operation will fail gracefully without corrupting it.
As indexes are mono-collection structures, it is all about dispatching your 
data wisely in collections.

And you are right, IMHO BaseX can fit in many places, and shines in prototyping 
!

Best regards,

What are the upper bounds to basex in size?  Assuming it's just text 
xml, gigabytes is quite a bit to my thinking.  At a certain, it's "big 
data" -- but how do you know when you're approaching that point?

Or, is the bottleneck more read/write and consistency problems?  What 
little I know of RDBMS is that master/slave can alleviate some bottlenecks.

To put this another way:  I'm so enthusiastic about basex that I'm 
having trouble finding a place it doesn't fit.  As you approach 
terabytes and beyond what dbadmin approaches are employed?
