Campbell,
The route I'd go with that is to use Database Desktop to query out chunks
of this table into umpteen smaller ones, meticulously renaming answer.db
after each query. Normally I'd write a pretty simple program to do
that. Then you can use the pdox2ib tool to pump each table over to
Firebird; then merge the lot into one table using insert into mywholetable
(select * from anothertable). Don't set up indices at all until you are
finished; don't make pri keys on the "bitser" tables but do so on the
final destination table.
