Hi Dan, (Sending to the General list too, since this isn't a Windows-specific thing.)
SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'tbl_name' will show you the current Avg_row_length. But the specific values for MAX_ROWS and AVG_ROW_LENGTH when you CREATE or ALTER the table don't matter (except for "looking correct" :-)) as long as their product is greater than 4GB. BTW, you can't have the limit be 8GB -- when you go greater than 4GB, the Max_data_length will be 1TB. Hope that helps.
