Re: practical MySQL database size limits

2003-11-10 Thread Eric Jain
 our database is about 20 Gb and growing daily. so far, I still see
 nearly constant time query performance on tables with ~10M rows. I
 don't think mysql is limited by file size per se.

I guess performance depends a lot on what your tables look like, and
your hardware, obviously. From my own experience MySQL (MyISAM) scales
very well up to 20M rows, but 100M rows turned out to be too much...

It is limited to the extent that your operating system is.

practical MySQL database size limits

2003-11-06 Thread Ari Davidow
We're talking about storing binary files (images) inside a MySQL database 
to take advantage of the granularity and control we get over file access 
that way.

But we already have 1.5GB, and that could lead to a very large database 
very quickly.

What are people's experiences with large MySQL databases? What are the 
practical limits under Solaris 2.8?
