Problem

Are there any limitations to MySQL such as size or record limits?

The biggest tables in the database I am working on have over 150,000 rows. Will MySQL be able to handle that?

Solution

Here are a couple resources from the docs on MySQL limitations.


Individual storage engines may impose engine-specific constraints. InnoDB permits up to 4 billion tables. [src]


There is a hard limit of 4096 columns per table, but the effective maximum may be less for a given table. [src]


Every table (regardless of storage engine) has a maximum row size of 65,535 bytes. [src]

Bottom line is, MySQL can easily handle your scenario.
