Hi We have tables of 1.5M rows 25 fields, in heavy use with frequent inserts and updates on a P4 with 1GB of RAM. Performance is fine, and the table size is 400MB, so you should not have any problems.

The limitation you hit is generally because of your OS. Most OSs have an upper limit on file size. Since a table is stored in a file, that file size limitation of the OS is what generally limits the table size. In which case the number of rows depends on the size of the rows. -- Chris W KE5GIX Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
