With respect I think this conversation is moving off the point, which was
related to a 5gb shapefile
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile
Which is beyond the design limits of the Shapefile standards and perhaps
therefore the source of the problem that the OP has.
Hi Chris,
The QGIS / GDAL/OGR implementation goes beyond the normal ESRI
implementation limit ("2 GB size limit for any shapefile component file").
See https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/shapefile.html
***
Size Issues
Geometry: The Shapefile format explicitly uses 32bit offsets and so
cannot go over 8GB (it actually uses 32bit offsets to 16bit words), but
the OGR shapefile implementation has a limitation to 4GB.
Attributes: The dbf format does not have any offsets in it, so it can be
arbitrarily large.
***
Best regards.
