sp_dropthreshold

Syntax

sp_dropthreshold dbname, segname, free_space

Parameters

dbname – is the database from which you are dropping the threshold. This must be the name of the current database.
segname – is the segment with free space that is monitored by the threshold. Use quotes when specifying the “default” segment.
free_space – is the number of free pages at which the threshold is crossed.

Examples

Example 1 – Removes a threshold from segment1 of mydb. You must specify the database, segment, and amount of free space to identify the threshold:
```
sp_dropthreshold mydb, segment1, 200
```

Usage

You cannot drop the last-chance threshold from the log segment.

You can use the no free space acctg option of sp_dboption as an alternative to sp_dropthreshold. This option disables free-space accounting on non-log segments. You cannot disable free-space accounting on log segments.
