What O/S are you running ... Windows?

To the best of my knowledge, MySQL doesn't impose file size limits ... that
is dictated by the O/S's file system. Switching to InnoDB wouldn't change
that.

Apparentlly there's a 4 GB limit to a MyISAM file when the table it contains
has VARCHAR, TEXT, or BLOB columns.  In order to get around this limitation
I
was looking to switching to InnoDB table types.  As this looks like a
relatively new subsystem I'm wondering if it is stable enough for production
systems, or is it still too new (and too "feature-prone".)  I'd appreciate
hearing feedback on this.  If I do wind up switching, it won't be for at
least a month.

TiA,

nick
