You can have several million records in a table easily -- I've done 10 million personally, but you can find people doing that many records a _day_. Hitting 1 billion records should probably not be impossible either -- it all depends on your hardware, and perhaps more importantly, what kind of queries you're running against it. 50000 is absolutely no problem at all. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/
