Type a name for the index. Do not use the name of an existing index at the current server.
Specify the user ID of the person who owns the table on which you are creating an index.
Specify the name of the table on which you are creating an index. (Use the unqualified identifier for the table.)
Specifies to ease migration to future releases of DB2, specify type 2 index. Do not specify type 1 if the identified table:
Specifies that type 2 indexes provide functions that are unavailable with type 1 indexes, such as:
Select the column or columns that you want to define as part of the index key.
Moves the highlighted column or columns to the Selected columns list box.
Moves all columns to the Selected columns list box.
Returns the highlighted column or columns back to the Available columns list box.
Returns all columns back to the Available columns list box.
Displays the column or columns selected as part of the index key.
Changes the order of items in the Selected columns list box by moving the selected object up one position. The order in which the columns appear in the Selected columns list box is the order in which the index is created.
Changes the order of items in the Selected columns list box by moving the selected object down one position. The order in which the columns appear in the Selected columns list box is the order in which the index is created.
Specifies to use an ascending search order for each index key.
Specifies to use a descending search order for each index key.
Select to ensure that two or more rows of the index key do not contain data with the same value. If you select the Unique check box, the Do not apply uniqueness constraint to null valued key check box is available.
Select to exclude null values from uniqueness test. Important: If the table contains rows with duplicate key values, the index cannot be created with the uniqueness constraint.
Select to view data as a group or in sequence. Do not select if an existing index on the table is already clustered.
Select to defer building the index. You can build the index later by recovering the index. Recommendation: If your table is populated and the index is nonunique, then you should select this option. If your table is populated and the index is unique do not select this option.
Specify the unit of index locking that DB2 uses for each physical page. Available only for Type 1 index. Enter or select the value 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. In a data sharing environment you must specify 1.
Specify an active 4 KB buffer pool. The default buffer pool is the databases buffer pool. If the index cannot use the databases buffer pool by default, then BP0 is used.
Important: The privilege set must contain SYSADM authority, SYSCTL authority, or USE privileges on the specified buffer pool.
Type the password for the VSAM data sets. If the index occupies multiple data sets, these data sets must have the same password.Important: The password setting does not apply to data sets that are managed by the Storage Management Subsystem (SMS).
Select the maximum data set size for nonpartitioned indexes. This field is unavailable for partitioned indexes.
Select to have DB2 close the data sets, when the conditions are met, for the least recently used index spaces before it closes the data sets for index spaces that are defined without this option.
Specifies that you want to manage data sets.
Specify the integrated catalog facility where the data sets for this index are cataloged. If the catalog name is greater than eight characters, then you must use an alias for this setting.
Specifies that DB2 manages data sets.
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.
Type an integer between 12 and 131068, inclusive. 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 index if necessary.
Select to erase the associated data sets when you drop this index.
Select to explicitly manage free space in the index space.
Specify a value from 0 to 255 that designates to leave a page of free space when index entries are created.
Specify a value from 0 to 99 to define a percentage of free space to leave in each nonleaf page and subpage when entries are added to the index or partition.
Specifies to write updated pages to the group buffer pool when more than one DB2 member has the index or partition open and at least one member has the index open for an UPDATE operation. Important: This setting is ignored and no pages are cached if the group buffer pool is defined for cross-invalidation use only.
Specifies to cache pages in the group buffer when read in from DASD.
Important: This setting is ignored and no pages are cached if the group buffer pool is defined for cross-invalidation use only.
Opens the Add partition management window.
Opens the Change partition management window. Available if an entry is defined and selected.
Removes the selected entry from the Data management at partition level list.
Displays the defined partition management settings.
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.
