Awesome, I figured the 2 gig limit was imposed because of 32-bit
(signed) file pointers used in the code. But if it works with larger
now, I am a very happy camper now. Thanks.

| The 2 gig limit, if it exists, will be imposed by the operating system
/ file system you have chosen to use. For example, under Windows 98 or
ME, with FAT-32 file system, there is indeed a file size limit of I
believe 2 GB. Under NTFS or linux file systems, there is no OS-imposed
2GB limit, and Firebird will support large files. I have one database
that is over 15 GB and growing.
