Hi,
I wondered how seek() deals with large (>2GB) files. The help says that
the 'where' arg should be an integer, while the release notes for 2.0.0
say
o seek() on connections now accepts and returns a double for the
file position. This allows >2Gb files to be handled on a
64-bit platform (and some 32-bit platforms).
I assume that the help file just had not been updated, correct?
Thanks,
Vadim
