Sorry about this confusion. I peered closely at the Progress database administration reports and found out why. A Progress database has two files, <database-name>.bi and <database-name>.db. All permanent/committed transactions are stored in the db, while the uncommitted ones are kept in the bi. Progress needs both these files to function properly.l When Progress reports the database size, it combines the file sizes of the bi and the db. So if it reports a database size of 2GB, the bi file size is actually one third of 2GB, while the db file size is 2/3 of the 2GB. So the individual bi and db file sizes are actually smaller than the NTFS file size limit of 2GB. The db file will eventually hit the 2GB mark and stop growing.
