No, we do not impose any limitation on MySQL database size.

However, we do request that you do not store binary data, such as pictures and images, in your MySQL databases. Databases are meant to kept textual, relational data.

If you are storing a large amount of binary data in a database, Rhombic Networks’ reserves the right to call into effect our clause of excessive usage in our terms of service.
