[R] memory increasing

[Jonathan P Daily]

1) What kind of file is a .dta?

2) Do you have more RAM than R is using? Check this with ?memory.limit

3) Are you on a 64 bit OS with 64 bit R?

I can tell you that starting R with --max-mem-size=
may help, but you probably want to look into R interfaces with databases 
first.
