But that wouldn't (in principle) prevent having each of the 2^32-1 commands use COPY to insert 2^31 rows, which would presumably mean that the limit on the number of rows insertable could be 2^63-1. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="cbbrowne.com" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/x.html "I am aware of the benefits of a micro kernel approach.
