SQL statementsThis chapter describes the syntax and semantics of SQL statements that are recognized by HCL OneDB™.
ALTER FRAGMENT statementUse the ALTER FRAGMENT statement to change the distribution strategy or the storage location of an existing table or index. This statement is an extension to the ANSI/ISO standard for the SQL language.
ATTACH ClauseUse the ATTACH clause of the ALTER FRAGMENT ON TABLE statement to combine tables that have identical structures into a table with the same fragmentation strategy.

What Happens to BYTE and TEXT Columns?

When an ATTACH occurs, BYTE and TEXT fragments of the consumed table become part of the surviving table and continue to be associated with the same rows and data fragments as they were before the ATTACH operation.

Each BYTE and TEXT column in every table that is specified in the ATTACH clause must have the same storage type, either blobspace or tblspace. If the BYTE or TEXT column is stored in a blobspace, the same column in all tables must be in the same blobspace. If the BYTE or TEXT column is stored in a tblspace, the same column must be stored in a tblspace in all tables.
