You can have a large 4MB database.
With that many records, though, it will take forever to HotSync. I have 4MB
databases that HotSync in ten minutes or so, but they only have about 100
records.
You also take an overhead hit. Each record will add eight bytes to your
database header, so you're looking at an extra half meg for the database
header.
Try and restructure your database to increase the size of the records. With
that large a database, you probably want a 2KB or 4KB record size.

Each record may contain up to 65505 bytes.
Number of records is UInt16; beware that scrollbars
operate with Int16, i.e. twice as less.
