Offhand I think the only limit that might concern you is the CID limit
of 2^32 SQL commands per transaction. This does not directly stop a
single command from processing any number of rows --- but, for example,
if you have a per-row trigger that contains 10 SQL commands, you could
only fire it about 400 million times within one transaction.
