Turn logging on or off for an sbspace
You can control whether logging is on of off for an sbspace with several different methods.
If you want to use logging in an sbspace, specify the -Df "LOGGING=ON" option of the onspaces command when you create the sbspace. If logging is turned off in the sbspace, you can turn on logging for smart large objects in specific columns. One column that contains smart large objects can have logging turned on while another column has logging turned off.
To verify that smart large objects in an sbspace are logged, use the oncheck -pS sbspace_name | grep Create Flags command.
If you create smart large objects in the sbspace with the default logging option and you see the LO_NOLOG flag in the output, the smart large objects in this sbspace are not logged. If you see the LO_LOG flag in the output, all smart large objects in this sbspace are logged.
You can modify the logging status of an sbspace in any of the following ways.
| Function or statement to specify | Logging action | References |
|---|---|---|

onspaces -ch -Df "LOGGING=ON"
onspaces -ch -Df "LOGGING=OFF" |
