NonStop SQL/MP Reference Manual—142115

MODIFY CATALOG Command

uppercase or lowercase alphabetic characters can be specified; alphabetic characters

are upshifted prior to the comparison and substitution process.

ALLOWERRORS [ OFF | ON | number-of-errors ]

determines handling of nonfatal errors. MODIFY reports two classes of errors: fatal

errors and nonfatal errors. The MODIFY CATALOG command terminates

immediately after reporting a fatal error. Nonfatal errors are handled depending on

the value of the ALLOWERRORS option, as follows:

If you specify ALLOWERRORS without ON, OFF, or the number of errors,

ALLOWERRORS ON is the default.

If you do not specify the ALLOWERRORS option, ALLOWERRORS OFF is the

default.

When MODIFY CATALOG continues processing after a nonfatal error has

occurred, it advances to the next SQL catalog.

[ NO ] LISTALL

specifies how much information MODIFY CATALOG writes to the current OUT

file. If LISTALL is specified, MODIFY CATALOG reports the name of each SQL

catalog considered for modification and whether or not the catalog was modified. If

NO LISTALL is specified, only summary information is reported.

LISTALL is the default.

DETAIL [ MATCH | ALL ] REPORT [ TO EMS-Collector ]

[ ON ]

[ OFF ]

specifies that detailed information about the MODIFY CATALOG operation is to be

sent in event messages to a valid EMS collector.

If MATCH is specified, detailed information is reported about SQL catalog tables

specified in target-spec that contain node names that match the criteria

specified in the REPLACE clause. If ALL is specified, detailed information is

reported about all SQL catalog tables specified in target-spec.

MATCH is the default.

For a description of report options, see REPORT Option

on page R-3.

OFF The MODIFY CATALOG command terminates

immediately after the first nonfatal error is

encountered

ON The MODIFY CATALOG command continues, no

matter how many nonfatal errors are encountered

number-of-errors The MODIFY CATALOG command continues until

the number of nonfatal errors exceeds value of

number-of-errors
