 /**
  * An Access database.
+ * <p>
+ * There is now experimental, optional support for large indexes (disabled by
+ * default).  This optional support can be enabled via a few different means:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Setting the system property {@value #USE_BIG_INDEX_PROPERTY} to
+ *     {@code "true"} will enable "large" index support accross the jvm</li>
+ * <li>Calling {@link #setUseBigIndex} with {@code true} on a Database
+ *     instance will enable "large" index support for all tables subsequently
+ *     created from that instance</li>
+ * <li>Calling {@link #getTable(String,boolean)} can selectively
+ *     enable/disable "large" index support on a per-table basis (overriding
+ *     any Database or system property setting)</li>
+ * </ul>

+      <question>Why am I getting an UnsupportedOperationException (or
+                IOException) when updating an indexed table?</question>
+      <answer>
+        Previously index update support only handled tables with small numbers
+        of rows.  When the index size limit was reached an
+        UnsupportedOperationException (or possibly an IOException) was thrown.
+        As of the 1.1.14 release, experimental, optional large index support
+        has been added.  This support is disabled by default but can be
+        enabled via a few different means.  Please see the <a href="apidocs/com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/Database.html">Database javadocs</a>
+        for details on enabling large index support.
