Maximum number of possible structures

This is Jchem Cartridge 3.1.1, Java 1.5.0_04, tomcat 4.1.31 on a Linux machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 5), Kernel 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp on an i686. The Oracle version is 9.2.0.6





Hi I have a random question. Do you guys know of any limitations besides disk space and RAM (for the structure cache) on the number of records possible in a table containing a JChem indexed SMILES field?





It's all a bit theoretical, so don't worry about it too much :)





Have a good week-end

Mark,





The data type of the internal JChem record identifiers puts a limit of 2 to the power of 31 less 1 (~ 2.1 billion) on the number of records in a JChem structure table. We are not aware of any other theoretical limit.
