Why shouldn't it be OK? Take a look at wintercorp.com who recently listed a
SQL Server database with 67 billion rows.

With the right hardware and implementation such things are perfectly
possible. However, design and implementation of an efficient scalable
database requires skill and experience. I'd say that you should be asking
these questions of the people who will design and build your database. If
you don't already have that expertise available to you then start hiring.

Hope this helps.
