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.

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.
