Increase the swap space

Certain operations may cause the memory used by Sybase IQ to grow dynamically. Changing the way Sybase IQ uses buffers can dramatically change the way it uses memory. See the chapter “Managing System Resources” in the Performance and Tuning Guide for more information about buffers.

Depending upon the load on the system where the Sybase IQ executable is running, swap requirements may exceed space allotted. Insufficient swap space may result in the system supporting fewer users, and large processes that cannot acquire sufficient swap space may be prematurely killed by the operating system.

See your operating system documentation for information about extending swap space.
