Large databases - can MYSQL handle this?

Hi,
We are in the process of building an application to front end a
database of about 2 million records. I would like to know if MYSQL can
handle this and if not, what would be a good database to go with. We
would like to use opensource as much as possible, but if MYSQL cannot
handle this kind of volume then we will have to go in for commercial
software.

Thanks,
