Defining Databases › Allocating the Index Area

Allocating the Index Area

When enough storage is available, CA Dataquery processes sort requests using storage in memory. In-memory sorting space allocation is determined by specifications in the System Option Table DQOPTLST macro parameters. If enough space is not available, CA Dataquery uses the Index Area (IXX) of the CA Dataquery database for sorting. If the Index Area is not large enough to accommodate the sorting, an index full database return code will be encountered. See the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide for information about the Index Area.
