Tony You didn't say what version of R:Base you are using and what is the size of the R:Base database without the connections.
Make sure your scratch folder is local. Reload your R:Base database/ Attach only 1 table at a time and you set only one or two columns as indexed and do whatever you need to do then detach them. After each detach, disconnect from the R:Base database. Keep an eye on the size. If need be reload it again. If I remember right R:Base 9.1 and above allows you to attach tables as temp tables and I would still only attach one table at a time.

In this case Interbase. In total the Interbase database is 69 GB and it contains a lot of data that needs to be converted to a new table structure. Basically it works wonderful, but there are some tables which are huge. Some tables do have over 190 columns and contain about a million rows. And there are tables with more than 6 million rows. At this point it goes wrong, if I try access these tables. What I can see is that needed memory of Rbase.exe grows to more than 1200 Mb and then it stops. My question is: Is there a workaround or an alternative connection available for these tables? Tony IJntema
