These are the limits:
Maximum size for a database? unlimited (4 TB databases exist)
- Maximum size for a table? 16 TB
+ Maximum size for a table? 32 TB
Maximum size for a row? 1.6TB
Maximum size for a field? 1 GB
Maximum number of rows in a table? unlimited
disk space and memory/swap space. Performance may suffer when these
values get unusually large.
- The maximum table size of 16 TB does not require large file support
+ The maximum table size of 32 TB does not require large file support
from the operating system. Large tables are stored as multiple 1 GB
files so file system size limits are not important.
