dbunload failure - cannot start in ubuntu - Memory Problem

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to run dbunload to upgrade my database. Each time I run the command, it gives me this error:

SQL Anywhere Unload Utility Version 12.0.1.3457 Connecting and initializing * SQL error: Not enough memory to start

I am using using ubuntu version 12.04 LTS. Any advice!

Br, Sameh

You need to upgrade to a newer version of SQL Anywhere - at least build 3539 - that fixes a problem that occurs when using a Linux 3.x kernel.

Here is the description from QTS 694479

Attempting to use the engine or admin tools with large amounts of memory on a Linux OS with kernel versions between 3.0 and 3.3 may result in improper system memory calculation. This problem could manifest itself in many ways. The server may report insufficient memory.

The server may report a very low value for its cache size, even when a large amount of system memory is available

This has been fixed.
