Understanding software often goes hand-in-hand with familiarization with its documentation. The MySQL manual says:

Handles large databases. We use MySQL Server with databases that contain 50 million records. We also know of users who use MySQL Server with 60,000 tables and about 5,000,000,000 rows.
