Database Sizes

A Cradle database consists of several file groups, each containing a data file, an index file and (for some platforms) a lock file. In Cradle-5.5.1 and previous releases, these files were each limited to 231 (2 to the power 31) bytes, or 2 GBytes.

Cradle-5.6 introduces 64-bit addressing for database files on all supported Windows, UNIX and Linux platforms, so each file in a file group can now be up to 263 (2 to the power 63) bytes, or 8 EBytes (exabytes) each. An exabyte is one quintillion, or 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes.
