Comment on Show HN: Plato – Airtable for your SQL database

Comments

What is the maximum number of rows supported? What data types are supported? Do you support images and attachments?

All queries are made directly to your Postgres or MySQL database, so those systems define the limits. We never store your row data. We've had users running Plato with 100M+ rows.

No image support yet.

But there must be a limit to how many rows you can display on screen efficiently, right?

Oh, yes. We load pages of 50 rows at a time, with lazy scrolling that loads more on demand. If you keep scrolling to load dozens of pages, sometimes perf can suffer, but we don't see that to be a common usage pattern. Most users use our query controls to find what they need rather than scrolling.
