Type a database name to be used with your table space.

Opens a List window that you can use to view or filter the available items and select one.

Type a name (short identifier) for your table space that is unique to the database. The name that you type must begin with a character and must not contain special characters.

Specify a simple table space. A simple table space can contain more than one table.

Specify a partitioned table space. A partitioned table space can contain only one table; each partition is a separate unit of storage that has a part of one table.

Specify a large partitioned table space. You can have up to 254 partitions in a large table space.

Specify segmented table space holds more than one table; the space is divided into groups of pages, or segments, each the same size.

Specify a table space that holds large object values.

Specify a maximum number of partitions.

Specify a maximum number of large partitions.

Specify a maximum number of pages per segment.

Optional: Specify an allocated buffer pool name.

Specifies that DB2 can use any lock size. Generally, DB2 will choose PAGE locks.

Specify to lock at the table level only; only applicable for segmented table spaces.

Specify to lock at the table space level only.

Specifies to lock at the page level only.

Specifies to lock at the row level only.

Specifies that DB2 use LOB locks to manage the space used by LOBs and to ensure that LOB readers do not read partially updated LOBs.

Specify to use the number of locks that was set at time of installation. This determines the number of locks that an application process can hold at the same time in the table space.

Specify a maximum number of locks that an application process can hold at the same time in the table space.

Type a maximum number of locks allowed before escalating. If the size of the lock is Table space or Table (for segmented only), no value should be specified, and there is no escalation.

Specifies ASCII encoding scheme.

Specifies EBCDIC encoding scheme.

Specifies UNICODE encoding scheme.

Specify the maximum number of rows that DB2 will consider placing on each data page (MAXROWS). Valid values are from 1 to 255. For a LOB table space, the value is 0.

Select to specify the maximum size (DSSIZE) of either the partition or data set.

Specify the DSSIZE.

Select to use the default CLOSE rule. CLOSE YES closes data sets when table space is not in use.

Select to use selective partition locking. For partitioned table spaces only. LOCKPART YES locks only the partitions that are accessed.

Select to write LOB column changes to the log.

Select to let DB2 choose where to put inserted data. Not valid for a LOB table space.

Specifies user managed (VCAT). The integrated catalog facility catalog (ICF) used with this option identifies the catalog for the data set and supplies the first level qualifier for the data set name.

Specifies that DB2 creates a data set for the table space with the aid of the named storage group.

Specify the integrated catalog facility where the data sets for this table space are cataloged. If the catalog name is greater than eight characters, then you must use an alias for this setting. DB2 assumes one data set per partition.

Specify a storage group at the current server that includes at least one volume serial number in its description.

Important: The privilege set must contain SYSADM authority, SYSCTL authority, or USE privileges on the specified storage group.

Opens a List window that you can use to view or filter the available items and select one.

Type an integer between 12 and 4194304, inclusive (PRIQTY). Specifies the minimum primary space allocation for a DB2-managed data set. At least one of the volumes of the identified storage group must have enough available space for the primary quantity. Otherwise, the primary space allocation will fail.

Type an integer between 12 and 4194304, inclusive (SECQTY). Specifies the minimum secondary space allocation for a DB2-managed data set. If you specify 0, DB2 cannot extend the data set. Enables DB2 to extend the data set for the table space if necessary. The allocated space can be greater than the amount of space requested by DB2.

Select to erase the data sets when a utility or an SQL statement drops the table space. DB2 overwrites all the data in the data sets with zeroes before deletion. If not selected, the data in the data sets is still accessible, but not through DB2.

Select to defer the physical creation of underlying VSAM data sets until the first write operation occurs. The undefined table space has a DB2 Catalog entry. The default is to defer the creation.

Select to explicitly manage free space in the table space in terms of a number of data sets or as a percentage of free space.

Specify a value from 0 to 255 that designates to leave a page of free space when table space entries are created. Using a 0 value indicates no pages are left free. Do not specify an amount here if the table space is in a work file database.

Specify a value from 0 to 99 to define a percentage of free space to leave in each nonleaf page and leaf page when entries are added to the table space or partition. Do not specify an amount here if the table space is in a work file database.

Specifies that in a data sharing environment, only the updated pages are written to the group buffer pool.

Specifies that only changed system pages within the LOB table space be cached to the group buffer pool. A system page is a space map page or any other page that does not contain actual data values. This selection is the default for LOB table spaces. Available only for a LOB table space.

Specifies that in a data sharing environment, all pages will be cached as they are read in from DASD.

Specifies that no pages be cached to the group buffer pool. DB2 uses the group buffer pool only for cross-invalidation.

Select to compress the data in the table space or partition.

Select to tell DB2 to track modified pages in the space map pages of the partition. Do not select this if your table space is a LOB table space. This improves the performance of incremental image copy.

Shows the partition information and whether the parameters are the default parameters, or defined by the user with the Change button. Modify the partition properties by clicking the Change button with one or more partitions selected.

Opens the Change partition management window to modify a partition and its properties. Affects the selected partitions.

Resets the properties of the selected partitions to the default parameters.

Changes the order of the selected partition within the table. Click to move the partition up.

Changes the order of the selected partition within the table. Click to move the partition down.

Submits the data in the window and closes the window.

Displays the SQL statements that are generated by your choices in this notebook.

Cancels any unsaved changes and closes the notebook or window.
