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.
Backup and restore of RAW tablesThere are backup scenarios for the table types available on HCL OneDB™.

Backup and restore of RAW tables

There are backup scenarios for the table types available on HCL OneDB™.

The following table explains backup scenarios for table types.

Table 1. Backing up tables on HCL OneDB
Table type	Backup allowed?
Standard	Yes.
Temp	No.
RAW	Yes. If you update a RAW table, you must back it up so that you can restore all the data in it. Backing up only the logical logs is not enough.

Important: After you load a RAW table or change a RAW table to type STANDARD, you must perform a level-0 backup.

The following table shows restore scenarios for these table types.

Table 2. Restoring tables on HCL OneDB
Table type	Restore allowed?
Standard	Yes. Warm restore, cold restore, and point-in-time restore work.
Temp	No.
RAW	When you restore a RAW table, it contains only data that was on disk at the time of the last backup. Because RAW tables are not logged, any changes that occurred since the last backup are not restored.
