Re: [GENERAL] 8k limit

There are plans for doing what Bruce refers to as...what was his term?
Its basically 'row wrapping'...the row limit is still 8k, but the server
is smart enough to link two rows together to give you larger then that.

It won't be in v6.4...but should be (or something similar) in a future
release...
