Very, very large .dat files

[Peter Hansson]

We've seen .dat files  in seg0 directory grow to several hundreds of 
gigabytes. While everything works ok such a file becomes unmanageable 
from an OS point of view. Is there a way to control when Derby starts a 
new conglomerate?  ... so that there are more .dat files but each of 
them of less size ?

Thanks.
