SQLTEMPSPACE threshold

The SQLTEMPSPACE threshold specifies the maximum amount of system temporary table space that can be consumed by a DML activity at any member. DML activities often use temporary table space for operations such as sorting and the manipulation of intermediate result sets.

Activities tracked by this threshold are as follows:
  • DML activities that are issued at the coordinator member.
  • Nested DML activities that are derived from user applications. However, DML activities that are issued by the data server, such as internal SQL, are unaffected by this threshold.

The data server considers IMPORT, EXPORT, and other CLP commands to be user logic. Activities that are invoked from within IMPORT, EXPORT, and other CLP commands are subject to thresholds.
