hahah 1 kb ;)
before you work with databases you should know one thing. Database addresses are loaded on to the primary memory. So guess what 32bit OS can only handle max 4gb ram which means only 4gb can be addressed. This results 32bit database can have max size of < 4GB.

If you have a 64bit Database you will be able to address 2^64 bytes. (currently available 256 TB)
