Re: ** Extent limit reached, please help !! **
Posted in 1996
1) How big was he last extent allocated? If you don't know look in
systables at the field nextsize for the table in question.
2) How much space is free in this table?
run oncheck -pT <database>:<table name>
3) If you don't have much space free can you afford to unload some
of your data to a unl file (temporarily) then delete it from the
table? This will allow you some space until you can recreae the
table.
Did you get some sort of warning from the engine that you're at the
max extents?
