In 7.x it is around 32 terabytes depending on OS limits (1022 max data files, 32 gig files).
Practically, it depends on the OS, size of machine, etc.
In 8.x it is something like 512 petabytes (in theory) or some really huge number.
64k tablespaces * 1022 files/tablespace * 32gig/file...
again, reasonable performance is a factor of the OS and all.
by max number of threads, I assume you mean connections. again, depending on the OS and implementation, its in the 10's of thousands (50, 60 thousand)... To achieve connection counts like this demands pretty large hardware (clusters, connection pooling and so on) but can be done.
