ASSERT FAILURE POSSIBLE DURING INSERT OPERATION INTO A TABLE WITH AN ACTIVE CREATE INDEX ONLINE OPERATION | |
product: | |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - | |
Problem description: | |
An Assertion Failure may be possible when inserting a row into a table that meets certain conditions whilst an online index create operation is active. An example stack trace: (oninit) afstack (oninit) mt_ex_throw_sig (oninit) afsig_handler (Linux) (oninit) onl_check_pimage (oninit) onl_idx_send_pimage (oninit) bfphyslogx (oninit) buffclear (oninit) allocvrow (oninit) wrt_home (oninit) wrtrecord (oninit) rswrite (oninit) fmwrite (oninit) aud_sqiswrite (oninit) chkrowcons (oninit) addone (oninit) ins1row (oninit) insone_next (oninit) doinsert (oninit) aud_doinsert (oninit) excommand (oninit) sq_execute_workhorse (oninit) sq_execute (oninit) sqmain Other stack traces may also be seen but all will have the function onl_check_pimage close to the top. There may be several different factors required for the Assert Failure to happen and these include: - The page selected for the row insert operation is previously unused with contents that include junk for the page header. - Parts of the page header fulfill the criteria for a data or remainder type of page. - The address information in the page header is invalid and references a chunk that does not exist. - A table has been dropped since the last checkpoint in the same dbspace where the insert operation takes place, or a backup is active for the dbspace and it is determined that the before-image of the page is needed for the backup. | |
