Hello ,
I read the "Designing large lists and maximizing list performance " article from technet.(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262813(v=office.14).aspx) and the article says
--- The list view threshold is the maximum number of list or library items that a database operation, such as a query, can involve at one time. By default, this is set to 5,000 items. This limit has a major effect on large lists because, by the definition of this threshold, a large list is a list that has more items than this limit. Operations that exceed this limit are throttled. Operations, such as creating an index on a list that is over this limit, are prevented because the operation affects more than 5,000 items. This limit prevents the queries that have a selectivity (items that can be efficiently filtered by using filter criteria) of more than 5,000 items. This limit also prevents queries that filter on columns that are not indexed. This is because a query that filters (and in some cases sorts) on a column that is not indexed must perform the filter on all items in the list to retrieve the correct dataset, and it will operate on more items than the list view threshold. The default value for this limit is based on farm and list performance and on how SQL Server manages locks. We recommend that this limit not be changed.

My question is that I have a list about 40000 items .And I get all items caml query with no error and I have more than 5000 items from default view if I change default item limit 30 to 5000..
I expected to get error when I wanted to execute caml query or default view more than 5000 item but no error return..
Why did I get that unexpected result According to the article ?
Thanks...
