Euphoria integers are 31 bits. That's 2,147,483,647 records. Is that
enough? Atoms are stored as 32-bit long integers. That's 4,294,967,296
records. Is that enough? Also, keep in mind that's per table. I
supposed you could always keep track of the free record numbers
somewhere and re-use them. But then your records would be out of
order.
