Passing the 65k limit

View member feedback to this tip.

I needed to do a search on a large amount of data and came across the 65k limit. I have developed a workaround using LotusScript.

If I had been able to do this in formula language it would have been something like:

Here is a summary of the script process:

First set up a database search and put all the matching documents into a folder. The first column in the folder is categorized with the data you want. Cycle through the entries and set up an array with details from this column. You now have an array with all the data and can continue with whatever other work needs to be done. The folder can now be emptied.

What happens if several users use this function simultaneously? In my opinion, you must use private folders (or shared, private on first use).

erver process so multi-user functionality was not a requirement. I see no problem with using personal folders. These can be created and removed just as easily.

Can you please elaborate on how this 65k limit was reached?

******************************************

The 65k limit was reached due to the large amount of data in the result set. Both @DbColumn and @DbLookup have this limitation and this is a known problem. I'm not sure if this is fixed in R6.
