I am currently running with about 100,000 images with no problems.

<br>
Upon further investigation, it seems ubuntu lucid has some issues with<br>
mysql, which I don't care to try to unravel at present time. So for<br>
now I will stick with sqlite.<br>
<br>
How many images can fit in sqlite database before there are scaling<br>
problems? I doubt there are more than 20,000 images on my computer,<br>
only 9,000 of which are currently in the digiKam sqlite database.<br>
<br>
Warm regards,<br>
