Problem IT44815 Status: Closed

CREATING AN INDEX USING UDT COLUMNS LIMITS THE SIZE OF THE INDEXTO
16,775,134 DATA PAGES PER FRAGMENT

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - 
Problem description:
Creating an index using UDT columns limits the size of the index
to 16,775,134 data pages per fragment because a  data page is
created no matter it is a detach index.

It means index can not grow until "Maximum number of pages per
index fragment" that is 2,147,483,647.

For example the following index was created on a LVARCHAR column
using "create unique index my_index on mytab (col_lvarchar)
using btree in idxdbs1;"

The 'oncheck -pt' of the index shows :

               Index my_index fragment partition idxdbs1 in
DBspace idxdbs1
