The "no longer", however, is a function of later Linux kernels and filesystems. Linux 2.2 kernels with the ext2 filesystem (probably still the most common setup) have a 2GB file size limitation, which is the cause of the MySQL table size limitation. MyISAM tables, at least on 3.23, have a 4GB limitation unless you specifially configure it otherwise, even if the OS allows larger files. Given all of the possible combinations, if you're going to be pushing the limits of table sizes, it's best to simply test and find out what your particular config will allow you do to. james montebello --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
