Question

What is the maximum size of a MySQL database in version 5 and up?

I do not mean the maximum size of row or table, but the maximum size of the whole database.

Answer 1

Two billion (2'000'000'000) tables and a max total of 64TB for InnoDB. MyISAM tables are files, so it's underlying OS file limit.

It's dependent of your operating system. I.e. on Windows its dependent on maximum folder size.
