Could you please, let me know what are the data size limits of BabuDB?

The maximum number of row?
The maximum number of column?
The maximum size(bytes) of key?
The maximum size(bytes) of column?

Thanks,
Sardor

Dear Sardor,

Please note that BabuDB is a key-value store, not a relational database
system. There are no rows and columns as in the relational database
model, but only keys and values.
As regards the max. number of key-value pairs, BabuDB does not enforce a
hard limit. Basically, you can add new key-value pairs until your hard
drive runs out of free capacity.

Keys and values, respectively are not limited in size either. The only
limitation here is that they need to fit into main memory. However,
please be aware that BabuDB has been designed to quickly store and
retrieve key-value pairs of small-to-medium sizes, not huge BLOBs.

Best regards,
Jan
