Good morning everybody.

I developed a system for the NZ Police for criminal profiling in Rbase 6.5+
This system is going into its 8th year and was originally written as a small
system in 1994 with Rbase 4.5.

The database consists now of 46 tables with 310 fields. We have currently
loaded 11,743,000 records. One table contains slightly over 4,000,000
records.

We tried to add extra data and noticed that the system stops after loading
an additional 470,000 records (approximately).

Apart from the fact that this is hindering an important piece of work, we
are currently loading an additional 30 - 40,000 records to the database each
month, which implies that we would be running out of space within the next
year.

Is there a capacity limit within Rbase? Is Oterro a viable alternative? Or
should we go to something like mySQL and use Rbase as a front end through
ODBC?

Thanks


Frank van der Zwaag
