Rita,
    Yes, Tim is working on the enterprise version which has better
memory management and should handle larger tables better (hey, I thought
you followed this newsgroup?. I'm hoping it will support AWE but
only the Shadow (Tim) knows.

Dave,

<< I really hope you can do it. If you're successful I'd even go as far as
erecting a statue of you in front of city hall. It won't be 10 miles high
like that of Arthur Dent, but it would be the best snow sculpture in town.

Snow sculpture, eh ?  I could handle that, but it's got to be my internal
mental image of myself, not the actual thing.

I can't see why it won't be able to - it will have to use VirtualAlloc
anyways for the database buffer allocations.

What is AWE?

Roy,
    If memory serves me correctly, Windows 32bit limits applications to
address only 2gb of RAM even if you have 4gb in the machine. With 64bit
windows you need a 64bit application to address more than 2gb (Delphi
does not yet have a 64bit compiler). So AWE will allow 32 bit
applications to address all of the available memory that is in the
computer by using memory paging. You could put 4x4gb sticks into the
computer to give you 16gb. This allows the dbserver to perform more
operations in memory instead of paging them out to the page file which
is considerably slower because it involves disk access. So putting more
ram on the dbserver will speed things up like building indexes and
supporting larger tables etc.. I'm not sure but you might even be able
to create a memory table that is larger than 2gb which would be great
for webservers.

Impressive.
