[comp.sys.mac.misc] Simple Hard Drive Questions :-)

Is there a limit to the number of files one can have on a hardrive ?
( Of course I realize that if you run out of space you can't have anymore. )

Would a whole bunch of very small files result in a slow hard drive ?
( Like say 10000 1k files on a single 45meg hardrive. )

The reason I ask is that I am building something like a database and the
software would be much simpler if I had a bunch of small files instead of
a single large file that would have to be searched....
