Dan,
Wow, thank you very much for an actual answer. It is much appreciated.
I am sorry that people like to ridicule noobs on this list. It was a
simple question with a simple answer. Thank you!!

I was just wondering what is the maximum number of records that
can be
successfully handled with a db. any db will do. it doesn't have
to 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?
Using MySQL with PHP:
I believe that a MyISAM table has a maximum row count of 2^32
(4,294,967,296) rows.
I believe that an InnoDB table *may* not have this limit.
PostgreSQL:
There is no limit on the # of rows in a table, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ.html#4.4
Remember that there are other limits (like diskspace, and the time
it takes
to perform a query on the data, indexing the data ...)
If you are concerning about the row limit, you may need to re-think
the
problem.
