If we're looking at RFEs for nocol, I have a few dealing with just the
datafile.
1) increased sizes for fields. Storage is cheap now; heck, my log files
are thousands of times larger than my datafiles are!
2) First 4bytes of the file to store a "datafile revision" so that future
changes to the format can be performed without breaking backward compat.
with the files.
I have some more ideas to make the datafiles more flexible; but I don't
want to expand upon them unless there is some interest in this area. I
know I personally cannot stand some of the lengths imposed.
