http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/column-count-limit.html normally you have a serious problem if you reach that limits because it won't scale well and the scheme is at least questionable select(*) even with most empty will create large results inserts/updates are much slower Am 30.01.2014 18:50, schrieb Roberto Spadim:
hum, unireg is the "global" limit, there's some ideas to change the .frm file and create a better one with less limits (drizzle database have it done), but you have limits in each engine too, index size have limits, many limits per engine exists, i think a max columns is just more one
how many columns you need? i think it's the best question, after that select a engine, if it's not a good engine, create many tables and use spider engine to group all tables (vertical partition) ?

I believe it's the same as in MySQL. It does depend on the engine your table is using. By default it is probably InnoDB.

Hello,
A new question has been asked in "MariaDB FAQ" by robpaton: -------------------------------- Hi there,
What is the maximum number of columns a row can have in MariaDB? I can't find this info anywhere on the web.
Best regards, Rob --------------------------------
