SQLite is really nice and the driver has been quite improved recently.

In newer version of GRASS there is always v.db.update .

or save you edits to a text file or spreadsheet.csv and when done add in
SQL commands to db.execute it.

How about using sqlite? Does it have any limits? From my experience,
sqlite is easy to use in grass vectors and, with little effort, you
can connect it to oobase. Or just use sqlitebrowser or the command
line to edit the databases.

With this many records I would seriously consider moving to a 
professional database, such as PostgreSQL/Postgis or Oracle Spatial. 
Both should run on a Mac. Postgis is of course easier to install and 
maintain than Oracle. It is also cheaper.

Hi,

Can you use Gnumeric? It's faster and limitless :-) ...ok, maybe no

I'm looking for ways to speed things up.  I cannot find a decent dbf

I agree with you.  I actually have postgresql installed on my mac.

AFAIK, you can change the max number of rows in gnumeric (at least in 
recent versions) by recompiling.
