 * Greetings! I am about to embark on a large project using Participants Database.
   Trying to forecast any roadblocks that I may encounter and thus far can only 
   see one: is there a maximum number of database fields and field groups that I
   can create? Thank you for the great work on the plugin! Enjoy. 🙂

 * Sorry I missed your question. There is no limit in the plugin, but there will
   be a limit to the number of fields you can have in a group because most servers
   limit the size of the POST data, and you can exceed that saving a large number
   of fields. The number of groups doesn’t matter so much because the data for each
   group is much smaller.

 * Thank you for the response, I appreciate it! Ah, no problem whatsoever. What 
   if we’re hosting the WP site locally? Can I modify the applicationhost.config
   file to set it at a high threshold?

 * The limit is in the PHP configuration so you can set a higher “post_max_size”
   to accommodate a larger save.
