Informix HPL message 23357: Cannot start violations table for '%s', SQL error %d, ISAM error %d

Message

Program: onpload

Cannot start violations table for '%s', SQL error %d, ISAM error %d

Placeholders, in order: %s %d %d

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

What it means

onpload could not start the violations table for the target table. Express-mode loads use violations and diagnostics tables to catch rows the engine rejects. SQL and ISAM errors say why.

Common causes
  • A violations table of that name already exists, or the user lacks privileges or space.
What to do
  • Decode the errors with finderr; drop an old violations table or fix privileges.
