Re: [sqlite] How to deal with Filesize-Limit of 2GB on Windows 95

Of course this is not a problem for my own system, but believe me, there are millions of people ot there with such old systems. Roberto Who says you have no control? Why not just indicate operating systems that support files larger than 2GB in the requirements for your application? Or more specifically, state that they must have a good operating system in order to use Multimedia data collections that are individually larger than 2GB. Those with less capable operating systems can explicitely use multiple data collections (SQLite files), or keep theirs under 2GB. That's how I suggest you deal with the problem. Trying to support larger files on operating systems that aren't designed for it is a cludge and probably won't help a lot of people. The only reason I see you may have to go to a lot of trouble is if you were explicitely given requirements that the application must support files over 2GB on Windows 95. -- Darren Duncan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, I haven't done any test yet about performance, but one concern I have is the filesize limit of 2 GB on MS Windows 95. Does sqlite provide some way of splitting the database file in small pieces ? How are other developers dealing with this filesize isssue for old MS Windows systems ? regards Roberto P.S. if this qustion has been anwsered before, this is my first post to the list, and I really googeled a lot about the topic, but didn't found anything. I suggest you could upgrade to a better operating system. Any computer new enough to have hard drives much larger than 2GB should also be able to handle a better operating system without choking. -- Darren Duncan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
