Updating user dbspaces

StepsAdding a dbfile to a user dbspace

  1. Connect to a coordinator.

  2. Add a file to a user dbspace or add a new user dbspace. On the ADD FILE clause, specify either a full path to a raw device, or a soft link.

    For example, this statement specifies a full path on a UNIX system:

    ALTER DBSPACE mydbspace ADD FILE mydbfilename
    '/dev/rdsk/c4t600A0B80005A7F5D0000024'
    

    For example, this statement specifies a full path on a Windows system:

    ALTER DBSPACE mydbspace ADD FILE mydbfilename
    '\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive2'
    

    For example, this statement specifies a soft link on a UNIX system:

    ALTER DBSPACE mydbspace ADD FILE mydbfilename
    'store/userdb1'
    

    You do not need to synchronize or restart any secondary servers.
