What is the biggest possible size for a tapforms database file?

[Pyromixer]

Hi Brendan, hi everybody :-)

My questions are:

A
What is the biggest possible size of a tp database file?

Example: In FM the file maximum size is 4 Terrabyte and 4 GB per cell.

B
When I use the iPad or my iPhone with iCloud Sync. How it works?
Is the complete tapforms database file everytime on the iOS device? Or only piece of the database file?
It’s important to know this before I buy new iDevices in future. Then I need more Ram :-/

A. I would not want to try opening up a database that was 4 TB. That would probably take all day. I’ve seen Tap Forms databases as big as 4 GB in Tap Forms, but most of that was due to images and file attachments, not the actual data in the database.

B. The What’s New in Tap Forms 5.1 video on my Vimeo channel shows the way iCloud sync works:

Tap Forms syncs the complete database the first time. But subsequent times it syncs only what has changed.

Hope that answers your questions ok.

Thanks,

Brendan
