fts catalog size

I am new to using FTS for searching, so please forgive the ignorance if there is an obvious answer. I've set up a table specifically to hold searchable data rather than have a number of table joins for searching. I've imported about 1/4 of the data into the table and set up a catalog on the table. The catalog is currently 62 mb. Is there a suggested limit to a catalog size for FTS and if so, is there a way to set up a catalog so that when it reaches this size, it splits off and creates a 2nd catalog? Thanks.No you can't throttle the size, nor can you have another catalog created dynamically. Note that a full text index for a table can't span catalogs, ie one index one catalog. -- Hilary Cotter Director of Text Mining and Database Strategy RelevantNOISE.Com - Dedicated to mining blogs for business intelligence.
