like i said, billions are possible, but it becomes more of hardware issue,
disk space, network availability etc

Subject: 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?

I was just wondering what is the maximum number of records that can

be the fastest or best, just one that can hold the maximum number of
records and still be able to interact well with php. any ideas?
thanks,

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.
