1.9 Limits

The page index limits a database file to 1TB (2^40 bytes).

The used file seek function (lseek) may put the limit at 2GB. It does not on some of the systems where off_t is 64 bits and the database file may grow beyond 2GB on these systems (nonblonde would be compiled on 64 bits).

The in bits expressed key lengths need to fit in a 32 bit integer, with some room left to spare. They may go up to 2^28, and possibly 2^30.
