part-num
the partition number (0 through 15) to which the partitioning options apply.
0 (or BASE) indicates the base partition of the entity. To specify primary
and secondary extent sizes for all partitions of the entity, use ALL.
part-opt
is one of these partition options:
{ KEY key-value }
{ SYSNO system-number }
{ PRIEXT ext-value }
{ SECEXT ext-value }
{ MAXEXTENTS maxext-value }
{ VOLUME volume-name }
key-value
a partial key value, defining the lowest key value that can reside in the
partition. Its format can be:
* A string of characters enclosed in quotation marks (for example,
―abc‖). Use this to represent partial key values that contain only
printable alpha-numeric data.
* Decimal integers representing byte values from 0 through 255,
enclosed in brackets (for example, [10, 13, 129]). You can use this
format to represent any partial key value, on a byte-by-byte basis.
* A mixture of quoted character strings and decimal integer byte values
enclosed in brackets (for example, [10, "ab", 13, 129]). You can use
this format to represent any partial key value, with the quoted strings
simplifying entry of printable alpha-numeric characters.
system-number
a valid NonStop OS system number from 0 through 255. The purpose
of this value is to simplify specifying partial key values that utilize the
system number portion of the ASAP record key. This value, if supplied,
is prefixed to any supplied key-value to define the actual key used to
partition the database.
ext-value
an integer value from 1 through 65535 for Format 1 files, or 1 through
512,000,000 for Format 2 files. It specifies the number of pages in the
