Re: maximum number of records in a db?

i am talking about individual records, not putting all records into a very long string, if that's what you are saying. i know people routinely use millions of records... but how about billions or more?

This is a useless question. Here's the matching answer: The number of records any database can hold matches the length of a piece of string.

Seriously - do some homework, visit the host sites and read the specs. A lot depends on what you intend to store.

As for "interacting well" - push the string.
