mysql max capacity

Hi

I have been using Mysql for sometime and it has been a great DB for my applications all the while esp when combined with PHP.

I am wondering what is the maximum data it can hold ? Can the tables be thousands with hundreds of thousand of data ?

thanks

The short answer: the complete database must be smaller than 8 million terabytes. I doubt you'll have this much data.

The long answer: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Table_size.html

It really depends on your query. Have you read http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/MySQL_Optimisation.html ?
