Informix Error -4511: A temporary table needed for a report could not be created in the selected database. The user must have permission to create tables in the selected database.

Reasons / Common Causes

-4511 is a legacy code — per the official guidance, it has been replaced by error -1328. See -1328 for the current documentation of this condition: a report's temporary working table couldn't be created, typically because the connected user lacks CREATE TABLE permission in the selected database.

1. This exact wording is superseded, per the official guidance — -1328 now covers the same underlying condition.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Treat this as -1328 and apply that code's resolution steps, per the official guidance.

Examples

N/A

No triggering example is documented separately from -1328 — see that code for worked examples of the underlying permission failure.

Diagnostic Checks

1. Confirm the environment/version reporting -4511 rather than -1328, and refer to -1328 for the actual diagnostic steps.
