Re: Extending to 32K row limit

Thomas,

I've re-done my database with the 32K tuple limit-- looks good.
However, I seem to be having trouble with binary cursors. I think it may
be with the number of bytes in the tuple header (used to be 16 bytes
with the 8K limit). I've tried 16, 32, and 64, but haven't seemed to
find it. Have you used binary cursors with this setup?

Thanks.
