Well, it depends on a lot of parameters. A short answer is:
use bogus data to test your setup. Test it to its limits,
and find out where you can expect problems.
What kind of limits can you think of?
- Size limits. Maybe 'more' hardware can help out. Maybe
you can compress the data with gzlib or the like.
- Speed limits. Maybe 'more' hardware as well. Maybe
a migration to another DB system might help (BerkeleyDB
did wonders for me).
- Usability limits. Think about multiple users accessing
at the same time. BerkeleyDB or file locking scemes can help.
RDMBS like oracle/mysql have the tendency to solve problems
at all three levels.....
Hope this helps,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
