That wasn't a MySQL limit, it was a filesystem limit, and if you run a 2.4 kernel, that is no longer a problem. Also MySQL has a raid table option that will allow you to break your table files up so they aren't as big, and you can spread them across sevral devices if you want. For all the postgres people: MySQL also does transactions, replication, row level locking.. etc etc you know all the things that people said "dont use MySQL... it doesn't do bla bla" The only thing that it doesn't do for me now that I would really like is subqueries, but if you check the todo list, that is the top priority right now... so very soon :) Brian Cluff
