Hi Alan,

then you confirm that this limitation exists?
I yes i am in bad situation
because now i have ~18 000 000 transaction per day
this is ~200 transaction per second :/

I see that i need to take off line my database after <4 month :/
This counter not restart self?
I really need to backup and restore cycle?
