insert error

I get the following error when trying to perform an insert on a table that has about 300,000 records:

Can't read start pointers from KDBF file mytable.blb: error 0: Unknown error in the function kdbf_read_start while processing url ...

Is my table corrupt?

How big is the mytable.blb file? Is there enough free disk space on the drive?

The size of the file is 2,097,164 KB and there is 78.2 GB of free space.

You are probably running on a system where files are limited to 2GB, and have reached that limit.

You've reached the 2GB file size limit of 32-bit filesystems. You'll have to split the table into several smaller tables, or purchase a version of Texis that supports 64-bit files, such as on the Alpha or Solaris 2.[67].

Do you know of a way to increase the file size limit in Windows 2000?

Only 32-bit files are currently supported under the Windows version of Texis. We are working on 64-bit file support however.
