Allocating More Space to DBC.Crashdumps Database - Analytics Database - Teradata Vantage

To increase the permanent space allocated to DBC.Crashdumps, submit a MODIFY USER statement similar to the following where the amount of PERM space equals the amount you would like to increase DBC.Crashdumps:

modify user crashdumps as PERM = 245000000;

Result:

*** Database/User has been modified.
*** Total elapsed time was 1 second.

Then submit the following statement to verify the new size and confirm that space was properly allocated:

sel databasename, sum(maxperm) from dbc.allspaceV where databasename = 'crashdumps' group by 1;

Result:

*** Query completed. One row found. 2 columns returned.
*** Total elapsed time was 1 second.
DatabaseName                           Sum(MaxPerm)
------------------------------  -------------------
Crashdumps                              245,000,000

You can also use the -compress and -nocompress options on the csp command line to override the default setting. To save space, use the -compress option.
