You also need enough administrative overhead storage (inodes on Unix, index blocks or some such thing on Windows) to account for your millions of files. Likely this will not be a problem, but if you have a good estimate of the number of bitstreams (files) you expect then it wouldn't hurt to check. Also, most object types in the database have a unique identifier which is an SQL INTEGER. If you're using PostgreSQL then, for example, you can't create more than 2,147,483,647 Items. A few millions should not hit any hard limit. -- Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer mw...@iupui.edu Asking whether markets are efficient is like asking whether people are smart.
