Reading a database file

[Sarah]

As it reads it into memory, your RAM is the limiting factor. If using 
Mac OS 9, then the amount of RAM allocated to the Rev app will limit 
it, otherwise, memory should get allocated automatically. I believe 
there is a theoretical limit of 4 GB per field, but practically this is 
not possible.

Note that if you want, you can read your file in chunks using the open, 
read & close commands rather than the URL command.

Cheers,
Sarah
