st: Re: Large data sets
....
I don't know about a Spanish language version of the patch, but even without the
patch you should be able to allocate about 900m to Stata under XP. How much
physical memory do you have? Do you have lots of other programs running at the
same time? You may want to reduce the number of programs that start up
automatically and launch Stata with nothing else running to see if you can get
to something close to 900m.
There's still a good chance that you will actually need more than 900m if you
really need to use a 700m+ dataset. But you may be able to make the dataset
smaller: Can you drop some variables? Could you compress some variables using
value labels or smaller storage types or even using abbreviations in text
strings? Can you drop some observations for some analyses? All of these
options are worth exploring. Otherwise, you could switch to an OS that can
allocate more memory than XP -- Mac, Linux, even Windows Vista can allocate
more.

Subject: st: Large data sets
Hi,
I need to work with large datasets (>700M, <2g), but Stata 9.2 does not
allow me to set memory above 500M (my computer should allow for up to 2g
memory setting).
I checked on Stata�s FAQs website
(http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/winmemory.html) and found out about
the hotfix patch 894472 that helps overcome this problem. I tried to execute
the hotfix patch from this website but got this message "Setup cannot update
Windows XP files because the language installed on your system is different
from the update language".
I tried to find a version in spanish (my system is set in spanish) but have
not succeded..
Does anyone know about a spanish version of this patch?
Thank you in advance,
Carmen
