MultiCharts databases can contain up to 16 GB

Postby Dave Masalov » 07 Jun 2011

Dear Sirs,

MultiCharts databases can contain up to 16 GB. We have tested 6 GB bases on our end and they worked fine. Which means that we can be 99% sure that databases can be as large as 16 GB.

Filesystems

Although the engine can now support 64-bit operations, it is important to remember that not all filesystems support large files.

In the case of Win32, the following file size (not to be confused with partition/volume) limits apply:

FAT16 for Win9x/ME, max file size = 2GB - 1byte
FAT16 for WinNT/2000, max file size = 4GB - 1byte
FAT32 for Win9x/ME/2000, max file size = 4GB - 1byte
NTFS for WinNT/2000/XP/2003, max file size = 16,384GB - 1byte
