That I don't get. What kind "quick and dirty" database has that much
data total much less all stuffed into one table? All of the databases
that I've worked on have their data spread across hundreds of tables.
The 2 gig limit is an issue for large corporate databases, but not for
anything "quick and dirty" that someone might be lugging around on their
laptop.
