waynew Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I've googled for an answer to this but I have found zilch so far. How much can a MySQL database hold? As in GB? Is this defined by actual diskspace? It's just that I'll be launching a site that might take up quiet a bit of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ok Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 As i remember it depends to the Operating System its either LINUX or Windows for example. And of course the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynew Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 My question fully answered: Note that this is maximum table size, not database size. So effectively, the largest database size is not depending on MySQL, but your operating system and how it handles files. A singular table can hold up to 8 terabytes. Wow. Thanks for the link! It's been something that I've been wondering about for a long time but never had the time to enquire. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
