- Using Informix 4.1, when I try to drop a database, I get the following
- message:
-
- 214: Cannot remove file for table ().
-
- I have called Informix support, and they have stated that the dbspace
- has been corrupted. Their proposed work around to me is to reinitialize
- the dbspace. This is unacceptable to me due to the downtime it would
- cause to the production systems dependent upon that dbspace.
-
- BTW, If the database contained "production" data, Informix extended an
- offer to dial into the system and correct the problem.
-
-
- I have two questions:
-
- 1) What is causing the dbspace to be corrupted?
- 2) What program does Informix use to correct the situation?
- 3) Can I obtain a copy of this program (or something similar)?
-
- Thank you,
-
- Paul
