Altering a table space or table space partition

Use the alter window to change the characteristics of an existing table space or table space partition.

Before you begin...

To alter a table space:

1. Open the alter window:

   • Open the Alter Table Space window.

   • Open the Alter Table Space Partition window.

2. You may do one or more of the following tasks:

   • To increase storage for database managed table spaces, click on Add.

     Note:

     In the partitioned database environment, if you use the Alter Table Space window and click on Add, the container is added for all partitions of the table space. If you use the Alter Table Space Partition window and click on Add, the container is added on the node of the selected table space partition.

   • Change the comment in the Comment field.

   • Click on Advanced to change performance parameters for the table space.

3. Optional: If you are using the Alter Table Space window in the partitioned database environment, you can change the characteristics of a container on one or more nodes. To do this click on the container in the Container name box and click on Nodes contain Exceptions. Then click on List to open the List Exceptions window, which you use to specify the nodes on which the characteristics of the container are different.

   Note:

   If you do not change the characteristics of the container, the path for the container must exist at every node on which the container will be created.

4. Click on OK to alter table space characteristics.
