Fatal Errors
Fatal errors are those errors that require correction before Ingres can proceed with the program. All errors, including fatal errors, are recoverable.
Fatal errors occur in the following categories:
• Ingres tools, such as QBF or ABF
• Ingres server errors
– Environmental OS/hardware limits and problems
– A command limit is reached, for example, exceeding the maximum number of aggregates in a query
– System software error
To remove the cause of a fatal error, use the troubleshooting techniques in the chapter Troubleshooting Ingres.
