Create Table Space: Define Partitions panel
You use the Create Table Space: Define Partitions panel to specify information to define the partitions for a partitioned table space to be created.
Panel and field definitions
- Cmd
- Use the following line commands to manipulate the panel rows containing
partition information:
- I
- Insert one new row.
- In
- Insert n new rows.
- R
- Repeat the current row.
- Rn
- Repeat the current row n times.
- D
- Delete one row.
- Dn
- Delete n rows.
- Pt. No.
- Partition number
- VCAT Name
- This is used to specify user-defined data sets. It is mutually exclusive with a STOGROUP name.
- STOGROUP Name
- This is used to specify a (Db2®) storage group name. Specifying a storage group name means that Db2® creates the data sets for the partition. It is mutually exclusive with a VCAT name.
- Primary Space
- This is used to specify the primary space allocation for the partition (in kilobytes).
- Secondary Space
- This is used to specify the secondary space allocation for the partition (in kilobytes).
- Erase Data
- This corresponds to the ERASE YES/NO clause in the 'USING' block. ERASE YES means that the data sets associated with the partition are overwritten with binary zeros when the partition is deleted (dropped).
- Free Pages
- Free pages results in Db2® leaving an empty page every n pages (n is what is specified).
- % Free
- The value specified here results in Db2® leaving n% (n is what is specified) of each page free.
- Use Data Cmpr?
- This corresponds to the COMPRESS NO/YES clause. YES means the data is stored in compressed format.
- Group BP Caching
- This corresponds to the GBPCACHE clause of the create statement (for each partition). This option only applies in a data sharing environment.
- TRACK MOD
- Specifies whether Db2® tracks modified pages in the space map pages of the table space or partition. Do not specify TRACKMOD for a LOB table space. For a table space in a TEMP database, Db2® uses TRACKMOD NO regardless of the value specified.
