I cant seem to find in the user documentation what the maximum number of rows in a UDT may be. Im starting a project and I want to be sure that UDT will be OK.

there is no absolute maximum number of rows, as they are stored in a database table like any other data. However, currently the whole data of a module needs to be read in memory when querying the table, therefore we do not recommend to use it for hundred thousands of records.

The number of fields per row also makes a difference.  I've reached the memory limit soon after exceeding one thousand rows, but I had almost 100 fields per row. 

To get pass this limit, I had to modify the module's on load behavior so that it does not try to load the entire table for display.  Instead, on load just displays a search function so that the user choose the field to search by and enter a search string.  The search function then navigates to the specific row to view and edit that content.

With this approach, I do need to use a separate module like the Report module to display any subset of table with paging.

UDT uses a serialized storage format and needs to deserialize it on load. This attitude has advantages - and disadvantages:

+ multiple module instances with different format can share 3 common tables
+ a single row can exceed the maximum row size of SQL server
+ easy search in all fields of a records
+ more efficient storage, if tables are less populated (many fields are empty)
+ very flexibel and efficient up to a hardware determined number of records

- transformation needed
- SQL queries are more difficult and less efficient
- easy search in single columns
- less efficient storage, if tables are heavily populated
- less optimal for large number of records

Eck Two has created a solution, that allows him, to overcome the last limitation mentioned above. But he also states, that this narrows his options, to use all the options offered by UDT, to display and manage (i.e. sort, filter) all records according to user's needs. Now it is up to you to choose the best option for your requirements. Good luck.
