Informix Error -12095: Smart Large Objects: create: Invalid Ext. size (<number-of-kilobytes>) Ext. size < -1 or > MAXINT.

Cause and resolution

Smart Large Objects: create: Invalid Ext. size (<number-of-kilobytes>) Ext. size < -1 or > MAXINT.

The application programmer specified an invalid value for the estimated number of bytes in a smart large object. If the extent size is out of range for a smart large object, set the estimated extent size to -1 or call ifx_lo_def_create_spec or the equivalent mi function and then leave this field alone.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-12095 fires when a smart-large-object create specification's extent-size field is out of range — per the official guidance.

An extent size less than -1 or greater than MAXINT, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.

Solutions / Resolution

Set the estimated extent size to -1 if unknown, per the official guidance, or
Call ifx_lo_def_create_spec (or the equivalent mi function) and leave the field alone, per the official guidance.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond an out-of-range extent size.

Diagnostic Checks

Check the extent-size field in the create specification, and set it to -1 or leave it at the default from ifx_lo_def_create_spec.

The extent-size field in a create specification was out of range — set it to -1 or leave the ifx_lo_def_create_spec default.
