Not enough room in ROOT DBspace
Reduce the size of your PHYSFILE. You probably moved it to another dbspace after setting up the first server. Start it smaller, then create the plog dbspace and move it there and resize. j. On 1/4/17 4:09 PM, STEVEN AB wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to setup a new server with the …

Jonathan is correct. Maybe, someday, you won't have to drop and recreate your indexes to compact them any more. You'll should be able to reorg them (and compress the keys like we compress data) as well. Stay tuned!!!!…

Re: Compression-enabled tape archiving
You are right in noting about the compression form archiving under Informix. What I've performed in various Unix installation is as follows: 1. Create a process to listen at one end of a pipe queue. This process will compress the data (using compress or pack utility) coming out o…
