Error 179 - any ideas??
I set up a test instance on a server, with a copy of our production database, for testing. I kept BUFFERS very small - 500 I think. The server application failed with 179 errors (no more sort space). This suggests a problem with DBSPACETEMP. It's certainly true that my settin…
Java and Informix Dynamic Server 7.x
Hi friends! I am trying to do server-side java cgi programming to connect to I-ODS 7.x. Do you know how I can do that? I heard it is possible to use the jdbc-odbc bridge( intersolve or openlink's), but the performance is too slow, because of jdbc to odbc and odbc to jdbc convert…

SELECT DISTINCT(columname) and TEMP dbs
I am trying to execute a simple query such as: SELECT DISTINCT(columnname) FROM ANYTABLE ; There are approximately 40 million rows in ANYTABLE. The query runs forever, and the only activity I can see is major temporary dbspace reads and writes. I have tried forcing a light sca…

Temp Table/dbspace problem
I am having a problem with an Informix application. The DBSpace that the application uses gets filled seemingly when large queries are performed. After the error occurs we have examined the DBSpace via TBMonitor and it is full. However when we add the sizes of all the tables re…
Re: Incompetence!
I don't know exactly what the problem you encountered is since you did not describe the error code that you received. However, I'm going to take a guess that you might have run out of space in the dbspace that the temporary table was being created in. Try creating a dbspace for…
Re: "bad primary chunk" with temporary dbspace
We have been experiencing similar problems under 7.12 and have corrected them by modifying the actual dbspace name within the roodbs. Determine if your dbspace name is bad by doing the following: do an 'oncheck -pP 1 4 | pg' . This will dump the page for chunck 1 ( where rootd…

Re: "bad primary chunk" with temporary dbspace
Neil, I too have experienced this when restoring my 7.X engines. Informix also informed me that it was a bug that is "supposedly" fixed in later 7.1X releases. What I've had to do is: Since all of my path's in Informix are symbolic links, I just created another symbolic link …

"bad primary chunk" with temporary dbspace
I'm running OnLine v7.13 on a Sun Sparc20; Solaris 2.4. I've had to restore my instance to a dump. When i bring up OnLine I see the console message Bad primary chunk '/dev/rdsk/informix_1', although this doesn't appear in the OnLine log. The log does show that my tempbds is in…

Re: Misunderstood DBSPACETEMP ?
Hi Stefan, If you set DBSPACETEMP in the ONCONFIG file or in the environment OnLine stores temporary tables in one of the listed Dbspaces. Note that the Environment DBSPACETEMP overwrites the ONCONFIG value. Your DBSPACETEMP list contains the Dbspace dbs1 and so OnLine can stor…
