Only the fpt was 2GB, the dbf was much much smaller. I thought the limitation only applied to DBFs not corresponding fpt files...

I am incorrect about this?

Whether this means splitting the table in half record wise or column wise depends on the structure of the table and your preference. It might also be time to start thinking about a database that's designed to handle data of that volume.
