Identifiers.  Database names, table names and attribute names cannot be as long in NDB tables as when using other table handlers. Attribute names are truncated to 31 characters, and if not unique after truncation give rise to errors. Database names and table names can total a maximum of 122 characters. In other words, the maximum length for an NDB table name is 122 characters, less the number of characters in the name of the database of which that table is a part.

Table names containing special characters.  NDB tables whose names contain characters other than letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores and which are created on one SQL node may not be discovered correctly by other SQL nodes. (Bug#31470)

Number of tables and other database objects.  The maximum number of tables in a Cluster database in MySQL 4.1 is limited to 1792. The maximum number of all NDBCLUSTER database objects in a single MySQL Cluster — including databases, tables, and indexes — is limited to 20320.

Attributes per table.  The maximum number of attributes (that is, columns and indexes) per table is limited to 128.

Attributes per key.  The maximum number of attributes per key is 32.

Row size.  The maximum permitted size of any one row is 8052 bytes. Each BLOB or TEXT column contributes 256 + 8 = 264 bytes towards this total.
