[b-hebrew] Is there an exactly specific number of witnesses?

If I asked 5 random biblical scholars how many Greek and how many Hebrew witnesses - how many ancient witnesses in total - are currently known for the Bible, what is the chance that they would all tell me the same number; if 100%, then what is that total number?  The number of Hebrew?  The number of Greek?

And a related question:  Is there a single comprehensive database or listing of every variant among "all" the witnesses?

Thank you,
