CHAPTER 4 Adaptive Server IQ Indexes
139
You can use the keywords
BEGIN PARALLEL IQ
and
END PARALLEL IQ
to
delimit any number of
CREATE INDEX
statements that you want to execute as
a group at the same time. These keywords can only be used when creating
indexes on IQ tables, not temporary tables or Adaptive Server Anywhere
tables. Note that, if one of these
CREATE INDEX
statements fails, all of them
roll back. For more information, see the Adaptive Server IQ Reference Manual.
Note
You cannot place an index in a particular dbspace. Adaptive Server IQ
always places an index in the same type of dbspace (IQ Store or Temporary
Store) as its table. When you load the index, the data is spread across any
database files of that type with room available. The
dbspace-name
option of
CREATE INDEX
is ignored for IQ indexes, and is provided for compatibility
with Adaptive Server Anywhere.
