How are SharePoint lists stored?
Lists data is stored in the associated SharePoint team site. By default, lists inherit permissions from the SharePoint site to which they belong. Lists created using the SharePoint app in Teams will be automatically moved to Lists without any action needed from the user.

How many items does SharePoint store in one table?
So far as we have learned that SharePoint stores all list/library data in a single table i.e “AllUserData” – a single query which returns more than 5,000 items will lock all of the list and library data for that entire content database.

The list items are stored in the “AllUserData” table in the SQL. For every defined indexed column, SharePoint stores the index value for every list item in a separate table, i.e. “NameValuePair” table which we have seen in the above.
