The server is 64 bit and client is 32 bit...&nbsp; I tried the <i>select
* from table</i> on the server and the query worked...<br>
but I am puzzled why it does not work on the 32bit machine.&nbsp; I had
always thought that a 32bit machine could access up to 4GB.<br>
So what is the limiting factor ?<br>

Are all your server &amp; client builds 64-bit?

32M rows, unless the rows are &lt;50 bytes each, you'll never be able to manipulate that selection in memory with a 32-bit app.
