Problem:

Question from customer:

I found in our MFE docs where we talk about System Limits for XDB and see no direct statement stating the max for an XDB database size. Am I to assume that we don't have limits on the database size other than what the operating system imposes through file size limits or what XDB restricts through other limits such as number of records?

Resolution:

200GB is the max table size.  The max record size is 32K.  If every record in the table is 32K, that gives 200GB/32K records or roughly 6,500,000 rows.  Obviously, if rows are smaller we can have more rows per table.  We split the table into multiple 2GB chunks if the table grows beyond 2GB.  There is no limit on the number of tables in a location.  So a location could get fairly large.  We feel comfortable that a client will not exceed our current sizing.  If they do, we'll make it larger.
