The table on disk is limited in size to 32GB (16million pages) if the table is not fragmented (ie lives in a single dbspace) and 4TB if it is fragmented across a sufficiently large number of dbspaces, in versions prior to 9.4. The 2GB limit does not apply to tables, only to export/import files and to the chunk files that make up the dbspaces. <SNIP> Art S. Kagel
