Ability to work with giant DBF-files

[Eugene Lutsenko]

Recently I heard about the possibility to remove the restriction on the maximum value of the index in the database in the database header DBF. Then you can create DBF files larger than 2 GB and generally any size. It would be nice at the same time and remove the restriction on the number of columns. Maybe somebody heard about this possibility or knows how to do it?

I have not found in the documentation of information on how to programmatically change the value of the limiter. Could you tell? And what will happen if the physically correct value of these constraints in the database header? You get?

See the documentation
Specification Database-Eingines
DBFDBE (DATA component)

I use a german documentation, but if you seek DBFDBE you will find it.

Thank you very much for your support! I watched it and specifications as DBF know. I thought it might be possible to change the software to change the values ​​of these constraints, it is not necessary that it be done physically. There will be time. try, performed experiments.
