Re: DBSPACETEMP onconfig parameter on AIX being ignored?

John,
Does the tempdbs exist.
If so have you bounced the instance since changeing the onconfig.
If so check the last startup in the online log and look for messages
about the temp dbspace.

Hello.
When I execute the following sql (foobar.sql) on AIX 4.1.5 &
INFORMIX-OnLine Version 7.23.UC1, my root dbspace (rootdbs)
temporarily fills up, and then the sql aborts.
----------------- snip --------------
select
count(*), avg(agent_duration)
from
calltry, catt_dials_for_day c
where
line_start between c.start and c.end
and campaign in (7,2,3,8)
----------------- snip --------------
Here's my command line and resulting error msg
----------------- snip --------------
$ dbaccess easy foobar
Database selected.
264: Could not write to a temporary file.
131: ISAM error: no free disk space
Error in line 6Near character position 25
Database closed.

My onconfig is
