Hello
I have a large database of roughly 5 million games. I tried to in Chessbase 12 to run find duplicates after I updated it. It starts out ok but after a while it just slows to a crawl. After 48 hours it was stuck at 38% complete.
I tried to break it up into a PGN but it says the file limit is 2 GB so I would need 3 to 4 pgn's. So that did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Chessbase Database issue
Yes but that is for pgn's.... I cant make my database into a pgn.... my database is too large and goes over the 2 GB limit. Now if you know a way to take the chessbase database and turn it into a PGN file that is 8 GB's I would love to use that tool.

Re: Chessbase Database issue
Chessbase can create a pgn file. Create a pgn file, copy some games (perhaps by year range) from chessbase and paste it in pgn file. Check the eman tools if it supports large pgn files.

I was exporting the Caissabase (+4 million games) to PGN in SCID, and then imported it into ChessBase without any problems. Huge file but no problem. I‘ve used the newest ChessBase version though.

Re: Chessbase Database issue
Great if you could take a large database say 5 million games in a chessbase format and then convert it to pgn tell me what happens

Re: Chessbase Database issue
I tried to export the first 5 million games of Mega 2021. That all worked quick and nice until game 4,472,127 when it crashed with an error. The (partial) PGN created is about 4.2GB. Well... Bad programming I would say.
