Expand a Database Space

The Expand command is used to increase the size of the last index, journal or data space by a given amount. The space is expanded within the current location. The database that contains the space to be expanded can be either active (running) or inactive (stopped). If the database parameter autoexpand is set to yes, Tamino will automatically expand database spaces when necessary.
