Looks like Client/Server to me. In general, C/S need not have the 2 GB limitation. You could do the same with Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, etc.

>Create extremely large databases—up to millions of terabytes in size. Using our special large file support option, individual tables have a maximum size of 4.2 million terabytes (4,611,686,018,427,387,904 bytes). With unlimited tables per database, your applications can handle data large enough for virtually any application today or in the foreseeable future! And because CodeBase stores tables in individual files, you can create databases that span multiple disk drives and computers."
