BDE在16和32位元版本上Borland資料庫引擎與對相應dBase/Paradox檔案的最大極限到哪里。在此我們列出一些有用且常見的BDE物件最大限制(分成General, dBASE , Paradox三份清單)。 如果無法達到這些需求或是有記憶體不足的訊息，請試著將BDE中的SHAREDMEMSIZE設定調成4096或一直加大到符合你的需求。

該文檔中對您所提出的疑惑有很好的幫助.
Paradox資料庫中的Table的最大容量一般爲128M，但是可以擴展的:
1.打開BDE Administrator
2.選Configuration頁
3.選driver
4.選native
5.選paradox
6.右邊：選block size, 一般的是2048, 最小的，改個高的。如果改到32768, 可以支援到2G, 應該夠用了吧。
PS:)再囉嗦一句:Paradox和dBase中的Table Name被限制爲八個字元。dBase中的列名稱被限制爲10個字元。
