Description:
The following page says "number of databases" twice.

The latter should read "number of tables".

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/database-count-limit.html

Here is the full text of the page:

MySQL has no limit on the number of databases. The underlying file system may have a limit on the number of directories.

MySQL has no limit on the number of databases. The underlying file system may have a limit on the number of tables. Individual storage engines may impose engine-specific constraints. InnoDB permits up to 4 billion tables. 

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
N/A

Updated 2nd paragraph to read:

MySQL has no limit on the number of tables. The underlying file
system may have a limit on the number of files that represent tables.
Individual storage engines may impose engine-specific constraints.
InnoDB permits up to 4 billion tables.
