I know, I just wanted to add some real life experience about the 2GB filesize
limit (my datafiles are all 2000M). Even on 64 bit machines I tend to use less
than 2GB. I still can remember the bug in 8.0.5 on Solaris when a file was
larger than 2GB. The block which was at the 2GB position was corrupt. Not always
but often.



Regards,



Knut
