1 GB limit as far as i know.  I'd look to writing an SQL statement to cut down the columns and only return what you need.  43gb is a bit big.

this is a challenge for genomic data where explore many features (with filters / slicers / etc) to generate hypothesis.

This was 3  columns table - a subset of a bigger table.

I will try to see what can be done.

if anyone knows of a walk around, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

eilalan
