I've read a lot about the 32-bit/malloc-induced 2GB memory limit on MySQL for the innodb_buffer_pool_size. Does this apply to HEAP table size as well? In other words, if I have enough RAM can I set max_heap_table_size > 2 GB and have a > 2GB heap table sitting in memory? I've used AWE with innodb tables with embedded MySQL on Win2K. Will this be implemented on MySQL on Linux? Would this affect HEAP tables? If it will be implemented, is there a timetable? Will it require something to be done to the Linux kernel? Thanks, Michael
