AW: Maximum number of chunks in 9.40, 2047 or 32766? [5776
Hi,
do I miss something in your argumentation? It don't understand the problem.
We run IDS 9.40.FC5X5 (the official 'SAP' version of Informix) on HP-UX 11.23
(IA64 = Itanium) and have 2342 active chunks at present (and adding new ones
every week). I didn't have any problems adding new chunks after enabling
Big Chunk Support.
Regards,
Andreas Kutsche
