Hi Ed

Since all the data for koha is stored in a mysql database, the max number of
items is pretty much the max that mysql can handle.
Which quoting from the mysql FAQ is

"The maximum table size is limited by the MySQL version, the OS and in
particular the filesystem. In most cases, this effectively
comes out to: "The size of your hard drive." Many Linux systems impose a 2GB
limit on files.

MySQL v. 3.23 in particular, can be compiled to enable large tables which
are only limited by the filesystem (unless, of course,
your drive is larger than 800 million terabytes.)"


But as to testing, at the moment we have 70734 biblio records and 85217
items.
So we arent pushing the boundaries :-)
