An sbspace

An sbspace is a logical storage area that contains one or more chunks and stores only smart large objects.

An sbspace contains the following parts:
  • A metadata area contains information about the smart large object.

    This information includes internal information that helps the smart-large-object optimizer manage the data efficiently, storage characteristics for the smart large object, and status information for the smart large object.

  • A user data area contains the data for the smart large object.

For instructions on creating an sbspace with the onspaces utility, see the HCL Informix® Administrator's Guide.
