Re: how many lines in a table?

The biggest table you can have on SE is the maximum file you can fit on your largest disk drive. As far as I know a UNIX file cannot span UNIX volumes. But, check your table. How big is it now? How much space does it take up. And are there any deleted records which could be used. If you follow the rules for calculating space on OnLine - as detailed in the OnLine admin guide - this should give you a good idea on how far you can go before you hit problems.
