Subject Re: Interbase size limit question
Author robert_lee141
Thank you Ann...I actually don't need to add any more tables to the
db, but I do need to increase the rows in the one table by several
million records. What i'm understanding is that it won't be a
problem to go well over 4GB, even up to 40GB? How can I tell the
size limit for a single table?
