Many database products let you spread a database over multiple files, in which case the 2GB limit isn't necessarily a problem. If you really want a single file larger than that, then for 2.2 you are limited to using a 64-bit platform such as Alpha or Sparc64. 2.4 will support larger files on ia32, too.
