Using Backup and Restore 2 for Database Recovery
Constraints Unless you specify the 
CONSTRAINTS EXCLUDED 
option, all SQL/MX constraints 
are automatically backed up 
when you back up their 
catalog, schema, or table. See 
Constraints
 on page 5-33.
All constraints except 
REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY can 
be restored with Backup and 
Restore 2. To restore a 
REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY 
constraint, run the OBEY 
command file for the constraint 
generated by the RESTORE 
SHOWDDL ON command. See 
Using the RESTORE SHOWDDL 
ON Option to Re-Create Objects 
on page 5-36.
Index Unless you specify the 
INDEXES EXCLUDED option, 
all indexes and their index 
partitions are automatically 
backed up when you back up 
their catalog, schema, or table. 
See Indexes and Index 
Partitions on page 5-33.
Unless you specify the index with 
the INDEXES EXCLUDED option, 
an index and its index partitions 
are automatically restored when 
you restore their catalog, schema, 
or table.
Index partition 
metadata
To back up only the metadata 
for index partitions, specify the 
SQLDATA OFF option and do 
not specify INDEXES 
EXCLUDED when you back up 
the index’s table. The metadata 
is backed up, and the user data 
is not.
To restore only the metadata for 
index partitions, specify the 
SQLDATA OFF option and do not 
specify INDEXES EXCLUDED 
when you restore the index’s 
table. The metadata is restored, 
and the user data is not.
SPJ When you back up a catalog or 
schema, BACKUP 
automatically backs up the 
SQL/MX metadata of all SPJs 
therein. To back up the Java 
bytecode of the SPJ Java 
methods, which are stored in 
class or JAR files in OSS 
directories, you must specify 
OSS backup objects. See 
Backing Up and Restoring SPJ 
Metadata Information on 
page 5-35 and Backing Up and 
Restoring SPJ Class or JAR 
Files on page 5-35.
Does not automatically restore 
SPJs. You can run the OBEY 
command file for the SPJ 
generated by the RESTORE 
SHOWDDL ON command to 
reregister SPJs. See Using the 
RESTORE SHOWDDL ON 
Option to Re-Create Objects on 
page 5-36.
