In Response To: RE: Index space (Guo, Denny)

It may, especially if there are lots of deleted nodes or the index has lots of
partially full pages. If that's so, you can build the index with a FILLFACTOR
or 100 and compress it, but it will begin to grow again, and quickly, if you're
inserting to that table. Can you add a chunk to the dbspace or a new dbspace to
which you can move the index or even fragment it over two or more dbspaces with
enough free space?

Thanks for quick reply.
Then we have to fix the problem ASAP.
How about drop index and re-create index? Will it save some space?

Thanks again.
Denny

You mean if the dbspace containing the index fills or the partition
can't register another extent? If that happens and you try to insert a
row or update a key column that would cause a new index page to be
written - you'll get back an error code indicating that there's no more
space to make the change and you'll have to rollback the transaction.

Just quick question, what will happen if informix runs out of index
space?
Cause we are facing such problem soon.
We are trying to clean the space.

Thanks,
Denny
