What does core mean

I am getting an error could not insert new records. Not enough core? What does this core mean? What is the command to see its information? Can we increase it?

What is the exact message? Is it going into the online message log file? Are you seeing this from the application? I know of no place where we print an error with "not enough core" in the text. My suspicion is that the application is using dynamic memory and has a memory leak. What is the size of the app when you get this message? Is this UNIX/LINUX? Are you using /tmp as our swap file? Is /tmp full?

I got this same error using IDS 11.50.UC6WE on a small Solaris 10 server when attempting to use load to insert approx 375000 rows into a table: Database selected. 271: Could not insert new row into the table. 12: Not enough core 847: Error in load file line 93332. Error in line 2Near character position 0 Database closed.

Another solution would be to use the dbload utility to load the file. Dbload uses far fewer server resources and is actually faster than the dbaccess LOAD verb. Art Art S.
