Can't protect memory

[Mike_Thompson]

If I create a splayed, partitioned table having previously set for compression:
    .z.zd:(17;2;6)

and then subsequent attempt to access this table I get an error message:
     Can't protect memory

And q.exe quits.

On Windows 7.

q)\l c:\path\to\data
q)select from t
Can't protect memory

I have tried
    .z.zd:(17;1;0)

Same problem.

If I do not compression, then there's no problem.

A bug?

We hit same problem on solaris Kdb 2.7

We hit once due to a bad query(missed date criteria)� on a compressed hdb

But no such problem when similar bad queries on other tables before

Any clue?

[charlie]

was that solaris

on intel/sparc, 32 or 64bit?

[mklee]

Solaris x86 64bit

I can reproduce the error that Mike observes. We'll look into it.

thanks

Mike's problem came in with v3.1T 2013.04.03, affected windows builds only, and is fixed in v3.1 2013.06.17.

Man Kei Lee's problem is different and I believe relates to insufficient memory resources.

thanks

Hi Charles,

I'm seeing the same issue again. 

The combination of Windows and compression is causing q.exe to crash.

Cheers,
Mike
