Strategy for fragmenting temporary tables

You can fragment an explicit temporary table across dbspaces that reside on different disks.

You can create a temporary, fragmented table with the TEMP TABLE clause of the CREATE TABLE statement. However, you cannot alter the fragmentation strategy of fragmented temporary tables (as you can with permanent tables). The database server deletes the fragments that are created for a temporary table at the same time that it deletes the temporary table.

You can define your own fragmentation strategy for an explicit temporary table, or you can let the database server dynamically determine the fragmentation strategy.

For more information about explicit and implicit temporary tables, see your Informix® Administrator's Guide.
