Hi,
I am trying to open a file with size > 2GB.
My program looks like this,

DB *dbpS;
DBC *dbcpS;
DBT keyS, keyT;
db_create(&dbpS, NULL, 0);
dbpS->open(dbpS, NULL, source, NULL, DB_BTREE, DB_RDONLY, 0);
dbpS->cursor(dbpS, NULL, &dbcpS, 0);

memset(&keyS, 0, sizeof(keyS));
memset(&dataS, 0, sizeof(dataS));
while ( (ret = dbcpS->c_get(dbcpS, &keyS, &dataS, DB_NEXT)) == 0)
{
//Print the data retrieved
}

if (dbcpS != NULL)
dbcpS->c_close(dbcpS);
if (dbpS != NULL)
dbpS->close(dbpS, 0);

But I never get a entry.
The same program works for lesser file sizes.
What modifications do I have to make to read the database.

Thanks in advance.

Sagar,

What version of Berkeley DB are you using and what OS?

Can your OS handle file sizes larger than 2GB? Some OS's cannot
handles that size.

You have not configured for verbose errors. There are several messages
in this list that describe how to do that.

Did you get any error? Were there any errors when you inserted the
data.

The OS can certainly handle file sizes larger than 2GB because I
created it on the same machine. The creation of the file was proper.

Also the DB opens properly but get stucks while reading. The
application remains in a hang state.
