Hello, I am new to the list, I've subscribed in last ressort when I couldn't find an answer, neither the web or the list archives... I've had a question from a client that I've answered in this way :
" > One other question, when you have built the > database, will it be > expandable to the size for 10,000 (an estimate) > houses etc.? " Yes, mySQL prior to 3.23 handles table of a maximum of 4GB, now it's as large as 20GB depending on the file system used. each row in table house for instance will be way less than 5KB and 5KB * 10 000 is only about 50MB (1/80 of the former maximum limit) ******** Do you think I am right trusting mySQL on this one ? What is the upper limit database wide ? I know it depends on the disk space and the CPU and probably the file system.. But what sort of figures do you have in mind when answering this type of question about mySQL ?
