Well, the question was actually "What is the maximum size of this file and/or maximum object ID? => just how many objects can the zodb hold?". There is only a theoretical limit that has to do with the largest index key for the ZODB index I believe, and that is some ludicrously high number that no one has ever reached.
If you're using FileStorage, a technical detail in the implementation of the FileStorage index limits the maximum file offset that can be used to 2**48-1, or about 281 terabytes. Object IDs are effectively 64-bit integers (masquerading as 8-byte strings).
This would require how much RAM for the index? :-) -aj
