(thirty thousand billion) Wow! 30,000,000,000,000 records in 12,000,000,000 bytes corresponds to 0.00320 bits (!) per record. Congratulations for squeezing about 300 records per bit of information -- if you've really managed to do that, you have a very impressive compressive strategy. The records can't be all that interesting, though. Yours cynically, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
