Re: st: Is a data set with size 296,242,984 too big for stata to analyze?

[Orvalho Joaquim Augusto <orvaquim@gmail.com>]

This has been discussed here.

Try this: http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/data/setmemory.html

Take care with this: http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/winmemory.html

And if you cant solve: provide us the version of stata and the operating 
system you use.

Good luck
