Re: logging into and changing current dbspaces

Hi, You don't really have the most optimized setup with everything in the rootdbs. However it is the easiest setup I can think of to add space for several databases all at once! All you need to do is create some raw or cooked space, add one or more chunks of storage to the rootdbs. See the onspaces command to see what to do. You don't need to log into the databases to do this - you can do them all at the same time. Good luck, Bill } } I am working as a consultant for a company who is using Informix 7.1 } on a Sun Sparc running Solaris 2.5. } First of all, I know absolutely nothing about Informix and the only } person who did know anything about it and who also set it up is no } longer working there.
