That is TOTALLY INCORRECT! NTFS can handle partitions of any size, as long as they are NOT the primary partition (where NT is installed). Create a partition, also NTFS, that is not primary and you can make it as big as you want. Place the database in the non-system partition and you will have zero problems with size.

Can anyone give the basic tips to handle large DB on NT.

I read somewhere about the table needing to know it will be a big table in order to use the right pointer size ...

Make sure it's on a NTFS partition or you will not be able to exceed 4GB.
