The database disk is full. Deleting log files is not recommended and could stop the database from starting. |
Explanation
This Warning event indicates that the disk that contains the database files is full. The disk contains many edb.log files. Deleting or moving edb.log files is not recommended.
User Action
To resolve this problem, delete unnecessary files on the disk on which the database resides to create more space. Moving individual edb.log files is not recommended. However, you may want to move the database to a disk that has greater capacity.
Important
If you delete log files to recover disk space, the database may not start if the database files are inconsistent. Numbered log files cannot be deleted. However, numbered log files can be moved if the database files are consistent.
