gbpvr.mdb file size

[Mister Slimm]

Maybe it was a filesystem error or something.

All I know is that the file size was indicated as over 60GB and when I deleted it, 60GB of space was available on the HDD :confused:

I don't doubt the filesize. It just demonstrates how astonishing your database size is when it's 58Gb bigger than the quoted limit.

Obviously, in your 60Gb database file only 3-4Mb is actually being used by the database engine. It goes to demonstrate the staggering and utterly unnecessary wastage of the Jet database engine.

Just imagine if this was your car and every time you put fuel in, the fuel tank expanded by the amount of fuel entered. The very idea is preposterous but continues to be acceptable for the Microsoft Access engineering team in the 21st century. It's a shame, as otherwise the Jet database engine is small, straight-forward and ubiquitous.

60Gb. Amazing.
