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.
