[comp.databases] INGRES-PC Problem

eva@cs.odu.edu (01/20/89)

Does anyone out there have experience with PC-Ingres?  We have
run into a problem with use of function keys in an application.
It seems that the function key allocates dynamic memory each time
it is pressed and Ingres has no way of releasing dynamic memory.
We get the following error after the function key has been used
about 150 times:

	INGRES FRONTEND MEMORY ERROR: Out of memory; please
	restart program (1,55) ABOUT TO SHUT DOWN DBMS [HIT RETURN]

followed by:
	Memory allocation error
	Cannot load COMMAND, system halted

What we need is a way to deallocate the dynamic memory without exiting
the application.  Any suggestions would be welcome.  We are using
EQUEL C for the application.
