Does anybody know how much of data can be put into a sequential file?
There should be a limitation, like anything else.
I tried to search in the forum, it returned many results, but not what I exactly wanted.

Finding answers is simple, all you need to do is come up with the correct questions.

Re: Size of Sequential File
There is no limit on the size of the sequential file. You should be careful about the 'ulimit'. If you are dealing with a large sequential file, its always better to set the file size in 'ulimit' to 'Unlimited'

Re: Size of Sequential File
There's also the thing about OS restrictions... most of them are now either 4Gb or 4 TerraByte: to be able to keep track where you are in a file you a need to be able to address the offset (and this is usually OS dependent).
