Hey guys and girls, just like the subject says.

1. what are the maximum records a given table can hold?
2. what are the maximum simultaneous hits a given SQL server can handle?
 
"1. what are the maximum records a given table can hold?"

Depends on the amount of disk space available. No limit is given, but a database can only be 1 TeraByte, so that's your limit.


"2. what are the maximum simultaneous hits a given SQL server can handle?"

This depends on your hardware. The more hardware power (RAM, Disk speed, network throughput, etc.), the more hits possible without slamming the system. Also applicable - the complexity of queries, the size of the DB, and the quality of the DB (bad index / data layout will slow you down).
