I'm in the design stages of creating a database schema and my problem is that
one of the tables I'm creating has the possibility of growing to several
billion rows over time.  I could probably cut this by a few factors, but
we're still looking at least a billion rows.

Each row will only be a few columns so I'm not too worried about space but
only the number of rows.  Is there some limit on the number of rows?  I
assume if I index then searching won't be much of a problem?

I know this isn't a unique problem so I'm wondering how others have
approached it.  Any feedback is appreciated.
