Javier,
files, so the limit is 2GB.
IB 6.5 did get rid of the 2GB limit for database files, there is no
partical limit imposed by the IB engine (please note that there are OS
and file system limits).
As far as I know, the limits still apply to temporary files, although
you could define entries in your IBConfig file which can overcome this
limit (even with IB 6.0).
