We have several Global Databases which have in and around (sometimes above) this row count on several tables....
SQL Server is certainly up for the job, its simply a case of the following 1) Got enough disk space for the job? 2) Got enough RAM? 3) Got a decent backup plan and space to store backups (ideally 4 day incrementals) 4) Got a decent maintenance plan to monitor DB stats and indexed frequently 5) Got a good relational design to stop locking etc on larger queries There are more but these are the main pointers when dealing with a DB of this size... Ideally you would run a DB of this size over a cluster of servers than on just the one server but if its all you got then pack that bad boy full of ram and disk space and go for it...
