There are a number of limits in the alpha release of Falcon; these will be addressed in forthcoming releases:
Falcon is currently available only for 32-bit Windows and 32-bit and 64-bit Linux operating systems.
Falcon performance is not currently optimized for the Alpha release. Optimization and platform-specific tuning is planned for a future release.
SELECT FOR UPDATEis not supported.For the Alpha release, the maximum key length is limited 1100 bytes.
Serializable isolation levels are not supported.
Lock timeout configuration is not supported.
Distributed transactions are not supported.
There is a limit of 232 (4.29 billion) rows for a single table. By using multiple tables within the same tablespace you can have more than this number of records. In future releases this limit will be removed.
Configurable page sizes are not supported, but are planned for a future release.
Each tablespace has a limit of 232 pages within a single tablespace. Through a combination of the page size and the maximum number of pages in a tablespace, there is a limit of 140,737,488,355,328 bytes (128 TB) to a single tablespace.
Online backup is not supported, but support is planned in a future release.
Foreign key support is currently not available.
Although the maximum available storage within a tablespace is 128TB, the true number of records and quantity of data that you can store is dependent on a number of factors:
Record storage requirements
Index storage requirements
Compression ratio of stored data
Because of the complex relationship between the storage, indexing and compression facilities it is impossible to predict or calculate the disk storage space required for a specific dataset.
