in thread Writing a database lookup tool

I see to recall some limits to database size for sqllite, weird things happening if the filesize exceeded 4GB (note not a platform file size limit) seems to ring a bell, however this was some time ago this may no longer be a problem.

    Yes - there is a file size limit documented at the Sqlite site.

    It is approximately 140 Terabytes.
