Hi Zhiliang

   Good old Alpha Unix - most important thing is you have a
backup :-)

   First login as ingres and have a look at the file ~/files/
errlog.log  (%II_SYSTEM%/ingres/files/errlog.log)

   In here you will see a more detailed reason as to why the system
cannot open the iidbdb database. This should be your first point of
call in diagnosing what is wrong with the system. The command infodb
may also display further information. I'm wondering if you've got an
error of inconsistent database or something - but first we need to
know what your errlog.log file contains. Post that information and
people can give you more pointers.

  Cheers

Gary

Hello,
Could someone please tell me what the Ingres equivalent of Memo field is?
We need a text field to contain notes of up to any length, accepting that it will not be searchable.
Many Thanks & Regards,
Phil

Hello again,
Has anyone experienced running an Ingres database on a Virtual Server (in our case Windows 2003) in a VMWare environment on an ESX Server?
I guess that it must have pros and cons.. can anyone give their experience or recommendations please?
Many Thanks,
Phil
