The chunk size is a product of the filesystem. The chunk is a file and thusly subject to the limitations of said filesystem. The file system in use is also limited by the cpu (in general). The 2gb is a logical limitation of the word size of a 32bit cpu. if you wish/need a larger chunksize, you might look at your general setup, as you probably also need some serious power. <tokelly@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:8e47jh$5k1$1@nnrp1.deja.com... > what is the largest chunk size you can specify in informix 2000? i > thought it was 8gb, but some documentation i am looking at says 2gb. > > thanks for the help. > > ty > tokell@my-deja.com > > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ > Before you buy.

I was asked to not discuss the features in 9.21 so I will not. I just want to say that I like that rumor. Art S. Kagel
