Since you surely have to handle the case, that the limit is reached, I would define a constant value for the limit, stored in your model. Let's call MAX_DB_ENTRIES (=100). Then just check if the the limit is reached by if db(db.table.id>0).count() >= MAX_DB_ENTRIES: <inform the user of whatever the reaction should be>. Then you are independent on what database you use. I'm not sure if the solution fits your requirement. Does it?
