There's no limit based on number of rows.

However, the default hashed file has an upper limit of 2GB; you need to prevent it from hitting that barrier or it will become corrupted. Monitor the size and, if it exceeds, say, 1.5GB, take action to convert its internal pointers from 32-bit to 64-bit pointers.

Search the forum for RESIZE when you need the command for achieving this.
