informix 200 chunk size
tokelly asked whether the maximum chunk size in Informix 2000 was 8 GB or 2 GB. dilvish said the chunk is a file limited by the filesystem, and 2 GB reflects 32-bit word size. Watawinona reported a rumor that 4-byte integer limits would be removed from Informix 9 by autumn, allowing larger chunks. Art S. Kagel said he could not discuss 9.21 features but liked the rumor. No definitive answer.

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.
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
