questiions for data type and limits of MySQL

2005-09-20 Thread xiaobo
Hi, all I have 2 questions: 1) Is there any limit on the number of tables I can create in MySQL and how large I can hold in a database? 2) Does MYSQL support to save binary data file in the table. I can't just save paths to the files. They files reside in another machine. Thanks for reply.

MySQL is generally limited by the OS you are running it on. If you start having thousands of table, the OS is probably going to get bogged down in trying to keep track of all the file handles needed for all those tables and indexes. The practical limit to the number of tables is far lower

thank you for the suggestion, I will give that a try. I thought it suspicious that the table stopped receiving data at 2 bytes under the natural 4G limit (8 byte int) which was standard under 3.22. As I said, I am using a development release and I have found 1 or 2 other regression errors along
