My database is not started, the log showed "Fatal error: The database file has reached its maximum file size." How to start database up when its size reached maximum?

So has your file reached the file sizes as documented here?

The error SQLCODE -604 is a fatal error, so I'm somewhat surprised this happens when you try to start the database instead of during the usage...

Or do you have moved/copied the database from a different machine with a different OS or file system with higher limits? (Although I would except that then usually already the file copy would fail, say trying to copy a 5 GB file from NTFS to FAT32...)

Please show us the EXACT ERROR MESSAGE you have received. Google returns zero hits for "The database file has reached its maximum file size"

Please tell us what database product and what version you are using.
