Container name

This box displays all the containers for the table space that is selected in the Table spaces box. For a system-managed space (SMS), the absolute path and the state of the container are displayed. For a database-managed space (DMS), the absolute path, file size, and the state of the container are displayed. The states are as follows:

New

The container will be created by the create database operation.

Note:

If an attempt is made to overwrite an existing container, an error will occur.

Not valid

The container path is not valid.

You cannot create the database if the container is in this state because the container path will overwrite the container of another database: you must modify the container. You can either change the container path or remove the container, then, if you want, perform an add operation to replace the deleted container with another container.

Changed

The container was modified during the current session.

Added

The container was added during the current session.
