A process failed on AIX 5.1, IDS 7.31 UD6 with this error: -208 Memory allocation failed during query processing. The database server needed to allocate data-space memory in order to process the query, but none was available. This error may reflect a hardware limit, an operating-system configuration limit, or a temporary shortage of space. We had PLENTY of memory left so I'm not sure why the process couldn't get data-space memory. What can I tweak and how can I see the problem happening? C Geier St. Paul, MN sending to informix-list
