Working with Large sets of Data or even Big Data

Hello everyone,

I managed to connect R with some database tables residing in Microsoft SQL
Server, and I also got R to read the information in. My question is, since
usually, those tables can have 50 thousand or even more records, or even
hundreds of thousands  or millions of records what would be the maximum
amount of records that R is able to read and process or better put, what
would be the maximum amount of rows and columns that R is able to manage
(to perform data mining analysis)?  What would I need to do in order for R
to be able to manage large amounts of data?

Any information regarding this question would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards and have a wonderful day guys,

Paul
