HI !

Can anyone tell me what is the limit of the records in the dbman database ?

Wrong. The limit is rather low for DBMAN as it uses a flat file database, but it all depends on your server and your record size.

On an average server you risk nuking your database with more than 1-2000 records.

To a degree yes. The better your disk and processor the better the server will be able to cope with bigger files, but I still wouldn't try to use a large flatfile database.

I will test it because I don't want to buy a SQL version and this one is for free.
