How many records in a table?

Hi! Stupid question as this also depends on hardware but is there a limit on
how many rows I can have in a single MSSQL 2000 table? Table consists of six
int columns and has three indexes. Is like 10 Million or 100 Million
considered to be 'normal' or unrealistic?

Thanks very much for your thoughts!

MartinMartin,

It's actually limited ONLY by hardware (disk space). I wouldn't say that 10
or 100 million are anywhere near "unrealistic". Maybe 1 trillion would be
more like it!
