It is also possible to perform this online with DBM GUI on MaxDB 7.6: You can add new datavolumes to the database. When you delete the old datavolumes the data will be distributed across all other datavolumes.
I'll advice you to make a back-up before the action. Regards, Imko Molenbuur P.S. A MaxDB rule of thumb is that the number of datavolumes is the square root of the database size in GB. I your case I would suggest datavolumes with size 10GB or bigger if the database is expected to grow much larger. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Case, Glen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: donderdag 2 november 2006 21:08 Aan: maxdb@lists.mysql.com Onderwerp: Rebuild database question. Our database size 105GB. We have various sizes of data volumes ranging from 256K to 8GB. I would like to rebuild the database with uniform data volumes like 8GB. Here are the following steps: 1. Cold complete backup. 2. Drop database. 3. Delete data and log volumes. 3. Create database with correct data and log volumes using DBM GUI Manager. 4. Import the complete backup into the new database. I'm planning on keeping the database id the same. Am I missing a step here ?
