The rule is indeed that if you get even close, your design is wrong. While I agree with the "no hardcoded limits" in principle, for this one I really don't give a stuff that it exists. Roland Bouman addresses the more relevant concern of max row length (excluding blob/text fields). Some engines have other limitations of 512 or 1024 columns.
