I cannot remember the definition exactly; but as far as I remember, it was
with count() function; which returns 32-bit integer, and for tables having
more than 2 billion rows, count() has really no "meaning".

That's why numbger of rows in a table is only limited to your available
physical disk space or swap.

Best regards.
