A.3 Partitioned Table Space, User Defined, Without SMS

Test case 2 illustrates how to allocate a DB2 partitioned table space using user defined data sets, without SMS. The objective and the table space are the same as for Appendix A, section A.2, “Partitioned Table Space, DB2 Defined, Without SMS” on page 162.

A.3.1 DEFINE CLUSTER for 16 Partitions

Sixteen DEFINE CLUSTER statements with explicit volume names, as shown in Figure 85 on page 164, are needed to create the 16 partitions:

DEFINE CLUSTER

-

 

( NAME(DB2V610Z.DSNDBC.BPAOLOR1.PART2.I0001.A005) -

A.3.2 CREATE STOGROUP

Only one STOGROUP is required for this test case. Figure 86 on page 164 shows the related CREATE STOGROUP statement.

CREATE STOGROUP SGRV1CU0

VOLUMES ("RV1CU0","RV1CU1","RV1CU2","RV1CU3",

"RV2CU0","RV2CU1","RV2CU2","RV2CU3",

"RV3CU0","RV3CU1","RV3CU2","RV3CU3")

VCAT DB2V610Z;

A.3.3 CREATE DATABASE

The database required for this test case is identical to that of test case 1 on

Figure 82 on page 162.

A.3.4 CREATE TABLESPACE

Create the table space, using the high level qualifier (VCAT) to reference the clusters created in Appendix A, section A.3.1, “DEFINE CLUSTER for 16 Partitions” on page 164.
