large_file - Large file option

When the file size exceeds 2GB, the large file option is set for file systems that support large files. This will cause a different strategy for internal locks, which may cause locking problems when being updated in a running production system. Hence, it is suggested to set the DATABASE.LARGE_FILE option for the data source, when the file system supports large files. The option is required for the 32-bit ODABA version and is default for the 64 bit version. When not being set, the locking strategy differs between 32-bit and 64-bit version, i.e. running both versions simultaneously may also cause locking problems. Hence, it is suggested always to set the option when the file system supports large files. Values have following meaning:

• 0 - automatically determine large file option
• 1 - large file requested
• 2 - large file not supported (file size limited to 2GB)
