MSSQL database capacity

Hi,

Recently I had somebody build a website for me. The website guy uses
mssql as the platform for database storage. I was told that mssql's can only
store upto 100,000 sign member/records.

I'd like to have the database capacity of at least 1,000,000 members.

Question: Is mssql expandable ?

Or should I change to a different format/software ? And if yes, which
type of database ?

The maximum size of the table will determine how many records will fit in the table. If you know your row size and maximum table size then you can determine the maximum number of storable rows. The max table size is going to be dependent on operating system and filesystem type. In general you should be able to support at least 4GB tables. However, most modern systems should be able to support table sizes of at least 2TB. Unless you are storing very large sets of data in each row there should be no reason why your table won't support up to 1,000,000 rows easy.
