Rich,

Thanks for the info. I still don't understand the splitting, as the db uses
a text field which can hold up to 2 gigs, since it's just a pointer to a
location on the disk anyway (SQLServer). The only thing I could think of
was that it was make sure it worked across different DBMS's or to keep down
collection sizes from indexing objects. I'll look into your paper/script
and think about changing my export scripts.

Thanks,

S

DB servers and the default CF config limit DB records to around 64K
so objects have to be split to stay below this size. You are likely to
get in some sort of trouble by "unsplitting" them.

FYI, there is a script/whitepaper I did for migrating content from staging
to production that is on the Macromedia site. Don't have a URL handy
right this instant but it takes care of migrating split objects.
