Betreff: Re: MI limit on file size
I believe there is an inherent file size limit of 2 Gb. One of our
customers reported problems when a .map file reached this size. Once upon a
time (and when the format of the MapInfo table files was designed), Windows
had this as a disk partition size limit, so no file could exceed it. The
.id file serves as a link between the .dat and the .map files and I suspect
the size of the pointer fields is limited to point to a maximum value of 2
Gb.
Anybody from MapInfo development care to confirm this?

Subject: MI limit on file size
Hi
Does anyone know if there is a file size limit on MI tables? I have a dat
file that doesn't seem to want to save above 2GB.
thanks
