Sorry if this is an old subject - I had a look and couldn't find that
thread.

One of my customers is getting "insufficient disk space" error when
running
a query. I can run very simple queries (select * from "c:\myfile.db") but
anything involving multiple files gives the error. There is over 8GB free
on the drive and the data files are only a few MB. They have recently
freed
up a lot of disk space (on the day before the errors started), and a
search
on the web turned up some suggestions that it may be TOO MUCH space
(>2GB?)
This seems odd because we have had no problems before with machines with
40GB+ free...

I also tried increasing the Block Size setting in BDE config to 4096 but
that didn't help. Should I try making it even larger or is this not a
solution?

Any help appreciated, even if you just point me to the existing thread :-)

Oh, BTW, it's a Delphi 5 app using the BDE supplied (sorry, can't remember
the version number off the top of my head...)

Thanks,

Rob

Thanks for your effort, and thanks for sharing!

However, a couple of things to point out:
(1) Posting the message once in one thread would have been sufficient.
(2) As far as I can tell, this is a proposed solution for
Delphi developers, and possibly also C++Builder developers,
but will not help those working in other development tools,
such as Paradox for Windows.
On the last point, would it be practical (just asking -- I really
don't know) to put that code inside a DLL that could be called
from other programs that use the BDE?

I built a DLL Wrapper that can be found in the same link:
