The tables below present logical and physical system limits for ALLBASE/SQL. The values show the maximums permitted by the ALLBASE/SQL software. In practice, lower maximums may be imposed by the operating system or hardware environment in which ALLBASE/SQL is installed. In addition, ALLBASE/SQL uses some space per page for internal data structures. This leaves less than a complete page available to the user for tuple data and header storage. Refer to the "Logical Design" and "Physical Design" chapters for methods of determining the amount of space available to the user.

Page size is 4096 bytes, except for log pages, which are 512 bytes.
