I don't know how to figure out how many bytes TEXT columns would take. Here's the final count. BTW: I removed one of the columns so I'm at 747
Real 434 columns 1736 @4 Date 62 columns 248 @4 Integer 2 columns 8 @4 So thru these 3 we have 1992 Text 1 62 columns Text 8 186 columns Text 15 1 column Anyone fill in byte sizes for me? No, I don't have a copy of V8 to play with.
