I'm trying to delete a huge amount of data and says something

[Marco]

Hello. I have a table with a huge amout of data. The data comes from an ODBC
table and is copy to a local table.

When I have to delete the data of the local table it returns me a message
sauing that I have no enough disk free space to cancel the operation. For me
is ok, but I have 22gb of free memory.

Is it normal this messages?


Regards,
Marco

Marco,

How are you trying to delete the records? By selecting in the table and then
press delete? If so try to create a delete query that should work.

If I understand you correctly, this is normal. What it means is that the
operation has exceeded the limits of what can be executed in a transaction
that can be rolled back. Executing it as a delete query may avoid the
message, though I'm not sure of that.
