Lookup Table limit

[Jim Kosloskey]

Does anyone know for sure if there is a limit as to the size of a Cloverleaf Lookup Table (the non-db traditional kind)?

I was told years ago the limit was available memory, but I want to make sure if that is true today.

Hey Jim – I have definitely hit a limit even though I had plenty of free memory. The limit is some where between 8k-10k entries. I observed behavior that lookup entries that are greater than the threshold would simply not update the output. It wouldn’t crash anything.

Paul,

Thanks for the information. Now I wonder if this is a GUI limit or a real engine run-time limit.

In other words, I wonder if a larger table can be built via a Tcl proc and used effectively in the engine at run time but not be editable in the GUI?

An experiment to add to my long list of ‘when I have time’ items.

I think it is run time because I created my table using a script not GUI

Thanks Paul. I guess I will modify my addition to the ‘when I have time’ list now to try to determine the limit as accurately as possible.
