Sorry, I forgot to mention, it's for 7.4. There doesn't seem to be the equivalent page or subject in the 7.4 documentation. In addition, the explaination is a high level description of table or index page but light on the details.
But the simplest way is to populate with a fraction of your real data requirements and scale that up.
I don't think works well. How do I work out the space taken by a single table that grows at a different rate than another table? Chris -- Chris Velevitch Manager - Sydney Flash Platform Developers Group www.flashdev.org.au
