9623.0. "dbopen with btree corrupts at 2gb" by KERNEL::BIRKINSHAW (Press Enter to Exit) Fri Apr 25 1997 12:07

Dunix 4.0b

A customer is finding that if his btree file extends beyond 
2gb any keys added after that point are irretrievable.

I couldn't find anything about limits to file sizes with these
calls. Is there one? Can someone point me to some documentation
other than the man pages?

thanks

	What routines are these?  On a V4.0B with a reasonable
	amount of stuff installed, I did a "man dbopen" and
	didn't get anything.  Generally, if something has
	problems at 2 GB, it is it still in living in 32 bit
	land.  If the library is one of Digital's have the
	customer submit an IPMT case or a QAR to the group
	that owns the library.  If 3rd party software, complain
	to the 3rd party.  If free stuff, complain to the maintainer.

I see a dbopen(3) man page which seems to provide a set of ISAM-type
interfaces.

	Cool.  I was looking at the wrong version.  The shared library
	version is part of the base system no less.  This suggests it
	is used by a system component which will a similar unhappy
	surprise when that database starts pushing 2 GB...

	An IPMT case or QAR seems in order.
