RE: [amibroker] Re: Is database limited by the number of bars in database setting?

I think you have proven that the setting in database
properties limits the max number of bars per symbol. So it is
not a secret anymore.

In my case dealing with futures I wanted to save a whole
contract (3 months) worth of tick data per symbol. I had to
increase the number of bar to 800,000 Some symbols have
reached 23 MB in size.

Yea good luck! It must be a secret. I have the same problem
and asked 
why about 5 times and no one ever answered why. I hope you get
an 
answer because I would really like to know why too. I keep
importing 
data from back up files and it keeps going poof. I have a 320
gig HD so 
space isn't a problem. Keeping the data around is a problem. I
had 
imported data for qqqq back to 2/14/07 in January and I just
looked at 
it and it now starts in June. I'll be interested in the reply
you get.
Cheers,
Barry
