AdministeringIn addition to administering the database server, you can tune performance, replicate data, and archive data.
System administrationThese topics contain concepts, procedures, and reference information for database and database server administrators to use for managing and tuning HCL OneDB™ database servers.
Administrator's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ Administrator's Guide provides the information required to administer HCL OneDB™.
Disk, memory, and process management
Data storageThe database server uses physical units of storage to allocate disk space. It stores data in logical units. Unlike the logical units of storage whose size fluctuates, each of the physical units has a fixed or assigned size that is determined by the disk architecture.
Table types for HCL OneDB™You can create logging or nonlogging tables in a logging database on HCL OneDB™. The two table types are STANDARD (logging tables) and RAW (nonlogging tables). The default standard table is like a table created in earlier versions without a special keyword specified. You can create either a STANDARD or RAW table and change tables from one type to another.
Properties of table typesThese topics explain loading tables, fast recovery, and backup and restore of table types.
Loading of data into a tableYou can use the CREATE RAW TABLE statement to create a RAW table or use the ALTER TABLE statement to change a STANDARD table to RAW before loading the table. After you load the table, run UPDATE STATISTICS on it.

Loading of data into a table

You can use the CREATE RAW TABLE statement to create a RAW table or use the ALTER TABLE statement to change a STANDARD table to RAW before loading the table. After you load the table, run UPDATE STATISTICS on it.

HCL OneDB™ creates STANDARD tables that use logging by default. Data warehousing applications can have huge tables that take a long time to load. Nonlogging tables are faster to load than logging tables.

For more information about how to improve the performance of loading very large tables, see your HCL OneDB Performance Guide. For more information about using ALTER TABLE to change a table from logging to nonlogging, see the HCL OneDB Guide to SQL: Syntax.
