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 …

Quickie question on serial and bigserial data types
Luis: No. The maximum SERIAL value is 2^31-1 (2147483647) not 2^32 (4294967296). It is signed not unsigned, it's just that the algorithm for assigning the next value is a bit strange. So, when the serial value hits 2147483647 the next assigned value is not 2147483648 but 1. Howev…
