Create an sbspace

An sbspace must exist before you can create a virtual table in it.

Before you can test the ability of the access method to create a table that does not yet exist, you must run the onspaces utility to create a smart-large-object storage space. The onspaces command associates a logical name with a physical area of a specified size in a database server partition.

The following onspaces command creates an sbspace named vspace1 for UNIX:

onspaces -c -S vspace1 -g 2 -p /home/informix/chunk2 
   -o 0 -s 20000

The following onspaces command creates an sbspace named vspace1 for Windows:

onspaces -c -S vspace1 -g 2 -p \home\informix\chunk2 
   -o 0 -s 20000
