limited only by the max size of the database which under 7.x is:
1022 (max datafiles) times the max size of a file on that OS (2-32gig in general). So, 2 - 32 Terabytes in general.
Under 8.x is:
64k * Max File size. Its theoretically into hundreds of petabytes with oracle8.
>2. Maximum size of a row
In 7.x it is:
254 * 2000 bytes (about 500k) of "structured" information or 253 * 2000 bytes + 2gig of "strucutured" and unstructured (long/long raw) data
In 8.x it is:
1000 * 4000 bytes of structured information or upto 1000 * 4gig of unstructured information (each of the 1,000 columns in a table could be a 4gig blob in O8).
>3. Maximum number of rows in any 1 table
Limited only by the size of the table which is limited by the size of the database (see above)
>4. Maximum number of fields/columns in a row
O7- 254
O8- 1000

1022 (in general) in 7.x
65,533 in 8.x
