Cannot export DB into HHs

[Chaser8]

I keep getting this error message when I try to export my entire 5 million hands database into hand histories.

Database Error:

Error opening cursor.

7- SQLSTATE = S1000
Out of memory while reading tuples.;
Error while executing the query

I have 15 gigs of space left in my computer. I'm running winxp with 2 gigs memory. What is going wrong here and how do I fix it?

The reason I'm exporting everything into hand histories is because I want to convert my db into PT3 but I can't convert it directly because of the limited space in my hard drive. I want to export all my hands into HH files, delete (and backup) my current PT2 db, which will free up 50gigs, then import all my HH files into PT3. Am I doing this right?

Thanks

Oh, and after this error occurs, I can't load up my db when I open 'Ring game player statistics.' Everything is empty. However, everything comes back to normal when I restart PT2

You are going to have to do the export in batches. Use the date filters (between dates) on the export window to export certain periods of hands, say 6 months worth at a time.

Thanks Pat.

When I specify the "Between Dates," will the exporter export hands including the dates?

For example, if I specify to export from Jan 1st 2007 to Dec 31st 2007, will it export all the hands of both Jan 1st 2007 AND Dec 31 2007?

Yes, it will export all hands between those dates inclusive of the start/end dates.
