SCID's "clipbase" can easily hold 30 million games, probably 8GB of RAM are enough.

This limit is still there:
Scid only allocates three bytes for some data fields. This means si4's maximum number of games is 16,777,214.

si4 is the SCID index version 4 file.
That limit doesn't apply to PGNs or in memory databases like the "clipbase".

There are other limits as well like the number of players. (Unless that has been repaired).
The reason I stopped working on Junkbase was that I could not put any more games in it.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
