[MonetDB-users] Memory limit for monetDB.

Is there any strategy that would allow MonetDB to operate in a situation where the size of the columns to be read significantly exceeds the available memory on the machine?

indeed, there is no way to limit the memory use. All columns are memory mapped files, which give an upperbound on their size. This is particularly problematic for 32-bits machines and very large columns.
