Dataset size limits
Different size limits can apply when you upload a dataset.
Depending on which is greater, the maximum size dataset you can upload to InfoSum Platform is limited by either:
- The total number of rows, or
- The total number of unique key values for a single key
Datasets with single value keys
For datasets with single value keys, there will only ever be one value per row so the limit for total number of rows will always apply. This is because the total number of key values can never exceed the total number of rows. In the example below, the key values for the individual keys Email, Cookie or Mobile Advertising ID will never be more than the total number of rows.
Datasets with multi-value keys
For datasets with multi-value keys, where a single row contains more than one key value per key, the unique key values limit applies as the row limit will never be reached. This is because the number of key values for a multi-value key will always exceed the number of rows. In the example below, the dataset has a total of 4 rows, but the Email key has 7 unique key values because the Email column is a multi-value key. If, for example, the Platform limit for total rows or key values is 6, the dataset would not upload even though the total number of rows is under the limit. The key values limit applies to each unique key column in the dataset.
