Yes.  Read the manual.  In a Windows environment, table sizes are limited 
to 2 gigabytes if memory serves, it is all in the manual, though.  You can, 
of course, have more than one table in your database.

The manual doesn't specify the Windows limit - only the Linux value of 2 gb.

The Linux version no longer has 2 GB limit.  It is now whatever your disk
capacity is.

The no longer, however, is a function of later Linux kernels and
filesystems.  Linux 2.2 kernels with the ext2 filesystem (probably still
the most common setup) have a 2GB file size limitation, which is the cause
of the MySQL table size limitation.  MyISAM tables, at least on 3.23,
have a 4GB limitation unless you specifially configure it otherwise,
even if the OS allows larger files.

Given all of the possible combinations, if you're going to be pushing the
limits of table sizes, it's best to simply test and find out what your
particular config will allow you do to.
