Inheritance hierarchy

HCL Informix® uses an inheritance hierarchy to obtain storage characteristics.

The following figure shows the inheritance hierarchy for smart-large-object storage characteristics.
Figure 1. Inheritance hierarchy for storage characteristics
This graphic illustrates the inheritance hierarchy for smart-large-object storage characteristics. The graphic contains four horizontal boxes arranged in a vertical line and connected by three down-facing arrows. The boxes are labeled as such: Database server storage characteristics (system defaults and the ONCONFIG file), sbspace storage characteristics (assigned when the database server creates the sbspace), Column-level storage characteristics (assigned with the CREATE TABLE statement), and User-defined storage characteristics (assigned from within an HCL Informix ODBC application.)
