Colin,
 
Thanks for your reply. My question was specific to your data based on "Neils" response regarding addressable space and the byte size of a record.
 
Anyhow, I think I need a 64 Bit machine for sure to load huge amounts of data for testing.
 
Thanks,

Venks,

Number of columns is limited only by disk space.  I
have columns which are approx 2GB on disk but I
believe column size is limited to the maximum size of
a file in your given file system, or maybe it is 2GB.

The developers are authority on max column size.
