Hi,
The FAQ says:
_________________________________________________
4.6) What is the maximum size for a row, table,
database?

These are the limits:

Maximum size for a database?
                   unlimited (60GB databases exist)
Maximum size for a table?
                   unlimited on all operating systems
Maximum size for a row?
                   unlimited in 7.1 and later
Maximum number of rows in a table?
                   unlimited
Maximum number of columns in a table?
                   unlimited
Maximum number of indexes on a table?
                   unlimited

Of course, these are not actually unlimited, but
limited to available disk space.
_________________________________________________

I would like to add:
In the earlyer versions than 7.1 there is a limit of
8K per row configurable to 32K per row at compiletime.

regards,
Rumen
