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.
Temporary tablesThe database server must provide disk space for specific types of temporary table.
Temporary tables that the database server createsThe database server sometimes creates temporary tables while running queries against the database or backing it up.
Where database server-created temporary tables are storedWhen the database server creates a temporary table, it stores the temporary table in one of the dbspaces that you specify in the DBSPACETEMP configuration parameter or the DBSPACETEMP environment variable. The environment variable supersedes the configuration parameter.

Where database server-created temporary tables are stored

When the database server creates a temporary table, it stores the temporary table in one of the dbspaces that you specify in the DBSPACETEMP configuration parameter or the DBSPACETEMP environment variable. The environment variable supersedes the configuration parameter.

When you do not specify any temporary dbspaces in DBSPACETEMP, or the temporary dbspaces that you specify have insufficient space, the database server creates the table in a standard dbspace according to the following rules:

If you created the temporary table with CREATE TEMP TABLE, the database server stores this table in the dbspace that contains the database to which the table belongs.
If you created the temporary table with the INTO TEMP option of the SELECT statement, the database server stores this table in the root dbspace.
