Re: Database Size Limiting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

You could use Filsystem quotas but I strongly suggest against it as it will probably bring about database corruption.

A better solution would be to monitor the space being allocated so you
can add storage as required.

Sincerely,

Is there a way to limit the size that an individual database can take up?

My understanding is that all your databases go into a file system which is your ‘catalog cluster’.

But all the databases can grow until that filesystem is full.

Is there a way to limit how big a database can be? Can you allocated space when the database is set up so you can say db1 can only be 100 MB?



Thank you!
