In the >Admin's-Manual you can find details about "Adding a Chunk to Dbspace". Tim, just a follow-up on Felix's response: OnLine does not give you the tools to increase the size of a chunk. However, dbimport does not care about which chunk the table's data goes into. It only cares about the dbspace. So all you really need to do is add another chunk to the dbspace that had gotten full before and start the dbimport over again. Of course, you must first drop the database that got created by dbimport and had loaded until the abort. -- -- Jake (Never yelled "CROWDED THEATER!" during a fire) +------------------------------------------------------------+ | The expedient performance of a task with excessive concern | | regarding its duration-to-completion engenders a virtual | | certainty of diminished benefit therefrom. | | -- Benjamin Franklin (but he said it in 3 words) | +------------------------------------------------------------+
