Syntax Description of CREATE INDEX
constraint. You can populate an offline index and remove its offline designation
by using the POPULATE INDEX utility.
POPULATE
Specifies that the index is to be created and populated. If you omit the
populate-option, the default is POPULATE
LOCATION [\node.]$volume[.subvolume.file-name]
[NAME partition-name]
specifies a node and volume for the primary partition of the index.
node
is the name of a node on the Expand network.
For Guardian files representing a table or index partition or a view label, node
can be any node from which the object's catalog is visible.
volume
is the name of an audited, non-SMF DAM volume on the specified node (or the
Guardian volume named in the =_DEFAULTS define if no volume is specified).
If you do not specify a LOCATION clause and your system does not have a
value for the DDL_DEFAULT_LOCATIONS default (either in your environment
or at the system level) and your environment does not have a =_DEFAULTS
value, the CREATE statement will fail with an error.
subvolume
is the designated schema subvolume for the schema in which the index is
being created.
Follow these guidelines when using SQL/MX subvolume names:
•
The name must begin with the letters ZSD, followed by a letter, not a digit
(for example, ZSDa, not ZSD2).
•
The name must be exactly eight characters.
file-name
is an optional Guardian file name. file-name names must be 8 characters in
length and must end with the digits “00” (zero zero.)
Any Guardian file name you specify must match the designated schema
subvolume name for the schema in which the object is being created.
Otherwise, NonStop SQL/MX returns an error.
partition-name
is an SQL identifier for a partition.
