query size

Since I never - until now - worked with real huge tables I have a question on the size of a query. My query would have a maximum result of 600000 lines, but since I might have up to 11 tables in the FROM tag, the cartesian product of which will come easiely up to 10^27.
Is such a query in MySQL possible or will it slow everything down or even blow the server away? What would be a reasonable limit for the cartesian product in the FROM tag?
