We can't give you general formula like 4GB = 100000 records. It depends upon how many tables you have, how many and what type of columns you have, what is the row size, how many indexes you have on each table and what are their keys etc.

harsh...the spec doc for express edition says 1gb ram is required. is it true or does it work fine for 512 mb or 256 mb ram machines with kinda slow performance???

Hi cognos,

What spec doc are you reading? The system requirements for RAM are a minimum of 192 MB with a recommened of 512 MB or higher. I think you may have confused the RAM recomendations with the maximum RAM limitation, which is 1 GB.
