And re sizeFM, I would note that Google has more than 2^31 pages indexed in memory.
I would note, in addition, that they don't have that many pages indexed on a single machine. Almost nobody has a database with that many records on a single machine, even those who have clusters of 64 bit machines.
It seems I qualify as almost nobody, cause I've had a database with more than 2^34 records on a single IA32 machine. However, I wouldn't ever think of loading the entire database to RAM. Best regards, Tom -- .signature: Too many levels of symbolic links
