Designing databasesThe first step in creating a relational database is to construct a data model, which is a precise, complete definition of the data you want to store. After you prepare your data model, you must implement it as a database and tables. To implement your data model, you first select a data type for each column and then you create a database and tables and populate the tables with data. You can also implement fragmentation strategies and control access to your data.
Designing and Implementing a DatabaseThe HCL OneDB™ Database Design and Implementation Guide provides information to help you design, implement, and manage your HCL® OneDB® databases. It includes data models that illustrate different approaches to database design and shows you how to use structured query language (SQL) to implement and manage your databases.

Insert and update rows

When you insert or update a row, the database server evaluates fragment expressions, in the order specified, to see if the row belongs in any of the fragments. If so, the database server inserts or updates the row in one of the fragments. If the row does not belong in any of the fragments, the row is put into the fragment that the remainder clause specified. If the distribution scheme does not include a remainder clause, and the row does not match the criteria for any of the existing fragment expressions, the database server returns an error.
