    John,
     
    oncheck -pe will give you all extents (disk storage allocations of objects), in other words, the entire contents of a dbspace, for all dbspaces. If you have a lot of objects .... this listing will be huge. You can redirect to a filename oncheck -pe > oncheckpe.out for example.
     
    oncheck -pe dbspace_name will give you all extents (disk storage allocations of objects), in other words, the entire contents of a dbspace, for the named dbspace only. Redirect works here as well.

    Thanks a lot; i already dit it but on a space that appears to be not empty, but when i ran oncheck -pe on that dbspace, no objects are listed
    that"s what i wanted a sql statement 

    but yes, oncheck -pe works for other dbspaces, and there are objects in it

    thanks a lot

    in fact, it"s about physical dbspace

    on config file, it s rootdbs that is mentionned, with more then 6 Gb, but rootdbs is only 1gb sized.

    PHYSDBS rootdbs
    PHYSFILE 6400000
    PLOG_OVERFLOW_PATH $INFORMIXDIR/tmp
    PHYSBUFF 512


    oncheck -pe physdbs


    oncheck -pe physdbs

    Hi

    i was wondering why the PHYSDBS parameter is rootdbs, and oncheck -pe returnes that there is a physical log in physdbs !!!

    I just figured it out, maybe i"m so in late :)

    because PHYSDBS was deprecated in 11.50.xc1, so no more needed

    thanks to all :)

    You can use oncheck -pe

    Or query sysmaster.systabnames:

    SELECT dbsname, tabname, partnum, dbinfo('dbspacename', partnum)
    FROM systabnames
    WHERE dbinfo('dbspacename', partnum) = 'mydbspace';

    John Smith?  Whaddaythinkthisis, a motel?  :-)
    (Joke stolen from an old Don Rickles sketch.)

    A bunch of years ago I wrote a shell script called fragments.sh, using a "library" named fragment_list.sh.  You can get it from the IIUG repository at https://sourceforge.net/projects/iiug-software-repository/files/DBAdmin-Tools/fragments.shar/ 
    I've included a text file for for documentation.  One of the options to fragments.sh is -D <dbspace>.

    More recently I wrote and uploaded a Perl package including the script partitions.pl but, as you just reminded me, I never got around to adding the
    --DBspace option to that one.  Shame on me, because it runs SO much faster than the shell script.  If interested, you can find that one at https://sourceforge.net/projects/iiug-software-repository/files/DBAdmin-Tools/Fragments.shar.gz/download

    Workaround to my lapse: Perhaps you can use the Perl script but pipe the output to a grep for the desired DBspace.

    Thanks for the reminder.  There are a few items I've not gotten  around to.
