Re: 2 Gig File limit under Solaris 2.51?

2.51 is limited to 2G files
2.6 is unlimited
BUT Oracle 8.0, 8.0.1...,8.0.3,8.0.4.1 and 8.0.4.2 will not work with files > 2G

... tablespace files and export files are still restricted to 2G limit even when running 2.6.

& Oracle is not the only problem, most 3 party tools [today] will not support large files
ie. sorts, compilers ...

According to Oracle, 8.0.4.3 will support large files. Would need to see this in writing first [the bastards].
Expected GA 18/9, but don't bet on this date

Not 100% positive about 8.0.4.2
