The number of tables in a database is limited only by the number of objects allowed in a database (2,147,483,647). A standard user-defined table can have up to 1,024 columns. The number of rows in the table is limited only by the storage capacity of the server.
A physical table is an object in the Physical layer of the Administration Tool that corresponds to a table in a physical database. Physical tables are usually imported from a database or another data source, and they provide the metadata necessary for the Analytics Server to access the tables with SQL requests.
You are using a MyISAM table and the space required for the table exceeds what is permitted by the internal pointer size. MyISAM permits data and index files to grow up to 256TB by default, but this limit can be changed up to the maximum permissible size of 65,536TB (2567 − 1 bytes).
Try the stored procedure:
exec sp_spaceused TableName
For all tables you could use:
exec sp_Msforeachtable 'exec sp_spaceused ''?'''
