Re: Adding and filling new column on big table

Nope. Didn't think it would make any difference.

May be worth a try.

I am using a laptop :).
Pentium 4 (not 4M) with 1GB of memory - 2 MHZ

Most laptop drives are only 5,400 RPM which would make a transaction like you are describing likely take a while.
Must do it on  that since the program is aimed for use at home.

No desktop at home you could try it on?
I think the problem with the laptop is likely it's drive.
