All flavors of Windows Python have supported "large files" since Python 2.2, so that's not the problem. You didn't say _which_ version of Windows you're using, though, and that may be the problem. Here from the NEWS file for Python 2.2a3: """ - Large file support is now enabled on Win32 platforms as well as on Win64. This means that, for example, you can use f.tell() and f.seek() to manipulate files larger than 2 gigabytes (provided you have enough disk space, and are using a Windows filesystem that supports large partitions). Windows filesystem limits: FAT has a 2GB (gigabyte) filesize limit, and large file support makes no difference there. FAT32's limit is 4GB, and files >= 2GB are easier to use from Python now. NTFS has no practical limit on file size, and files of any size can be used from Python now. """ If you're using a Windows version earlier than Windows NT, you're also using FAT or FAT32, and nothing can be done on those to overcome the filesystem limitations -- but then you shouldn't be trying to do serious work on a Windows system earlier than NT anyway, or with a filesystem earlier than NTFS. If you're running Win NT, 2000, 2003, or XP, and are using NTFS, you shouldn't have any filesystem-related problems no matter how large Data.fs gets. _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
