I asked before regarding the supposed 100 million row limit of MySQL. The
said information was given to me by my colleague who has been using MSSQL
to develop applications. After asking him where he got the info., he gave
the follwoing URL:
http://dev-www.sqlwire.com/features/mssql/article.php/3087841

At the bottom of the article it quotes something from the MySQL
documentation:
"MySQL Server was designed from the start to work with medium size
databases (10-100 million rows, or about 100 MB per table) on small
computer systems."
The same quote can be seen in the MySQL Manual at
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Compatibility.html However, replies to my
previous email here on this list state that a number of databases have
more than 100 millior rows. Also,
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Table_size.html states that MySQL can indeed
go beyond 100 million rows.

I'm confused. Why would the documentation discuss the 100 million row
limit if, apparently, MySQL can indeed go beyond this limit? Also, is
going beyond the 100 million row limit documented (aside from
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Table_size.html)?
