I believe you should call your Informix technical support: -211 Cannot read system catalog <error-text>. The database server refers to the tables of the system catalog while it processes most statements. When it cannot read one of these important tables, a serious error results. Check the accompanying ISAM error code for more information. The effect of the error depends on the statement that is being executed and the particular table, as follows: * CREATE TABLE statement, systabauth not read; the table is created, but PUBLIC is not granted authorization as it normally is. * DROP TABLE statement, systables not read; no action taken. * DROP TABLE statement, sysviews not read; the table is dropped but any views that depended on the table were not automatically dropped. * DROP VIEW statement, sysviews not read; no action taken. * DROP INDEX statement, sysindexes or systables not read; no action taken. * DROP SYNONYM statement, systables or syssynonyms not read; no action taken. * DROP DATABASE statement, systables not read; no action taken. * START DATABASE statement, systables not read; no action taken. * DATABASE statement, systables or sysusers not read; the database was not selected (no current database; for subsequent operations, see error -349). Other statements might be partially complete before the error is detected. Roll back the current transaction and then investigate the cause of the error. Use the oncheck utility (secheck with INFORMIX-SE or tbcheck with INFORMIX-OnLine) to check and repair indexes. If necessary, restore the database from backup and logical-log tapes. ----------------------------------------------- -103 ISAM error: illegal key descriptor (too many parts or too long). The ISAM processor has been given an invalid key descriptor. For C-ISAM programs, review the key descriptor. Each key descriptor has a maximum of 8 parts and 120 characters. If the error recurs, please refer to the Appendix entitled "Trapping Errors" in your Administrator's Guide to acquire additional diagnostics. Contact Informix Technical Support with the diagnostic information. ----------------------------------------------- Gorazd "dusong" <member21945@dbforums.com> wrote in message news:3499811.1066619052@dbforums.com... > > when I select a database,It return a 211 and ism code is 103,what is > > the matter? > > os:HP-UX 11i > > Informix: IDS 9.4 FC2W2 64 bit > > -- > Posted via http://dbforums.com
