Sybase SQL Error Message
Sufficient memory cannot be found for the LOAD. Increasing the Load_Memory_MB or decreasing the BLOCK FACTOR or BLOCK SIZE will allow the LOAD to proceed. %1
Reason for this Error
When the user explicitly sets Load_Memory_MB, the LOAD process applies various heuristics for load parameters in an attempt to find a combination such that the memory required is not more than what the user specified. For a fixed width LOAD, BLOCK FACTOR indicates the minimal number of rows that must be read into memory for each read. The default BLOCK FACTOR is 10,000. Decreasing the BLOCK FACTOR will make the LOAD’s internal memory requirements smaller. For a variable length input LOAD, BLOCK SIZE represents the size in bytes in which input data should be read. The default BLOCK SIZE is 500,000 bytes. Decreasing the BLOCK SIZE for a variable width input load will reduce LOAD’s memory requirements. Alternatively, the Load_Memory_MB option setting could be raised.
