16 |
|
Miscellaneous: 64 bits = 8 bytes Largest number = 10 ^ 308В =В 2 ^ 1023 -> 10 bits per exponent + 1 for exponent sign plus 1 for number sign => 12 bits Leaving 52 bits for the mantissa + 1 for implied normalized bit -> 53 bits LOG10(2^53) = 15.95 decimal digits accuracy |

1В If one or more fields allow null values, the limit is reduced by one to 254 fields.
2В Limited by memory and available file handles. .cdx files use only one file handle.
3В If the collating sequence is set to MACHINE, each character uses one byte. If the collating sequence is not set to MACHINE, each character uses two bytes. If the indexed field supports null values, one additional byte is used in the index key. Note that non-machine indexes are always compact.
4В A program module is one procedure. A program or application can contain an unlimited number of program modules.
