Test for an sbspace

If your DataBlade® module contains data types that contain smart large object data (BLOB and CLOB data types), an sbspace to store the smart large object must exist for each database in which users register the DataBlade® module. If the required sbspace does not exist, registration fails.

You can test for the existence of a particular sbspace when BladeManager prepares your DataBlade® module for registration by using the following procedure. If you test for the sbspace and it does not exist, registration fails and BladeManager writes an error message to the registration log. If you do not test for the sbspace and it does not exist, registration fails with an obscure error message.

To implement a test for a particular sbspace, use BladeSmith to add a custom SQL statement to your DataBlade® module that executes the SYSBldTstSBSpace() function. This is the syntax of the EXECUTE FUNCTION statement that executes SYSBldTstSBSpace(): 
EXECUTE FUNCTION SYSBldTstSBSpace("opt_name");
opt_name
The name of the required sbspace. To indicate the default sbspace, replace "opt_name" with " ".
