Thanks again

Is a table with say 5,000,000+ records possible?
What are the things to look out for with this amount of data?
Could the database be split over several database servers?
Is there anywhere on the mySQL site about "huge databases"?
[/snip]

Yes. We have several tables with well over 100 million records weighing
as much as 115 Gb.
Proper indexing.
Sure, using clustering.
Hmmm, not sure.
