Physical Options

In some DBMSs, physical options are used to specify how an object is optimized or stored in a database. You define physical options in object property sheets on the following tabs:

Physical Options (Common) – displays the physical options most commonly set for the object in a standard form format:
Physical Options – displays all the available physical options for the object in a tree format:

Note: The Physical Options (Common) tab is configurable and the options that appear on it are associated with extended attributes. You can add other options to this tab or to your own custom tab by associating them with extended attributes. For more information, see Adding DBMS Physical Options to Your Forms.

For information about setting physical options, see Data Modeling > Building Data Models > Physical Implementation > Physical Options.

Physical Option Syntax
If physical options are supported for an object, they are stored in the Options entry beneath the object in the Script/Object category of the DBMS resource file.
