That depends on your database schema and the queries you're running.
We've got PostgreSQL 8.2 databases with over 200 million rows in a
table and it's performing well. And there are possibly larger databases
around.

You want a simple answer to a very difficult question and regrettably it
isn't that simple or that quick.

Some of the considerations you would need to think about would be:

* What workloads are you running?
* What hardware will it run on?
* What performance is required?

any. just accept the fact that count(*) is *always* slow.

use triggers to store counts if you are using them all of the time.

also, i have two simple requests:
1. try to write to 1 mailing list. and not send the same question to all
lists you can find.
2. please try to avoid using workds like "lakh" or "crore" in your
mails.

i assume they mean something in your country of origin, but as far as i
know this is not english.
