I am speaking of the EXT2FS limitation of 2 gig per file. I would expect to reach it long before reaching a 2 billion object limit. Will ZODB3 be separable? Howard C. Shaw III Programmer/SysAdmin St. Thomas High School

Is it possible to split a Zope database into multiple files, while retaining conceptual unity? I don't like the thought that I am bound by a 2 gig restriction on my web site.
Hmm.. there is no built in restriction to 2gig on the object database, there is however a 2 billion *object* restriction. Is this some sort of OS restriction on file size your pointing out?
In either case, both restrictions will be removed with the introduction of ZODB3 (formerly know as BoboPOS). In addition to introducing multiple stores and threadability, the 2 billion object restriction will be lifted because we're moving from 23 to 64 bit OIDs.

I think Michel answer this the first time? I wonder if it will auto extend, though, the way big databases do - PostgreSQL just fixed it's multifile table problem in the current beta, so tables can go over one file now, so are effectively unlimited in size. It'd be nice if the ZODB3 had similar fuctionality. Ross -- Ross J.
