Thread: Is the fix for > 2GB files already in 6.5.3?

Hello Everyone,

I want to build a prototype system under 32-bit Linux using
a table that would be about 20GB with PostgreSQL. I looked
through the archives and saw talk about a patch for PostgreSQL
to fix a bug with tables > 2Gb. If the system worked, I would
like to migrate over to a 64-bit Alpha system and have tables
> 40GB. Will it work?

Is this patch incorporated into the latest release?

Regards,

Ron King

It should be as it went in before 6.5.3. The main fix was to break the
table files into 1Gb blocks.
