What is the maximum size of a MySQL database in version 5 and up?

What is the maximum size of a MySQL database in version 5 and up?

I do not mean the maximum size of row or table, but the maximum size of the whole database.

+2  A: 

Two billion (2'000'000'000) tables and a max total of 64TB for InnoDB. MyISAM tables are files, so it's underlying OS file limit.

It's dependent of your operating system. I.e. on Windows its dependent on maximum folder size.

This documentation entry is very helpful in regards to this

+1  A: 

The maximum size for MySQL databases is determined by operating system constraints on file sizes for tables, not by MySQL internal limits.
