    How large can your database get before you start to see some problems?

    Thank you.

    What sort of problems?

    I ran into "the number of files being used" issues with cpanel and bsd at about 950 blogs although my host overroad those settings for me.

    That depends on a lot of variables other than the actual database...I'm not sure there is a single definitive answer to this question. Some shared host will limit the size of a single database, but minus that, then about all I can say is your database can potentially get very large (thousands of blogs) before you hit problems. If you are thinking of hosting a site with thousands of active blogs, then you may want to search the forums here about using multiple databases.
