You can specify the locking scheme for a new table with the create table command. The syntax is:
create table table_name (column_name_list) [lock {datarows | datapages | allpages}]
If you do not specify the lock scheme for a table, the default value for your server is used, as determined by the setting of the lock scheme configuration parameter.
This command specifies datarows locking for the new_publishers table:
create table new_publishers (pub_id char(4) not null, pub_name varchar(40) null, city varchar(20) null, state char(2) null) lock datarows
Specifying the locking scheme with create table overrides the default server-wide setting.
See “Specifying a server-wide locking scheme” for more information.
