Table 1. Table Partition Maintenance IPartitionParent interface properties
Property name Data type Access Description
DefaultAllocation CHARACTER Readable, Writeable Set to a preference that decides whether to allocate partitions when the tenant is created, when tables are multi-tenant enabled, or new multi-tenant tables, indexes, or LOB fields are created. This preference can have the following values:
  • "Immediate" — Allocate immediately using default areas. Allocates all partitions according to the defaults when the tenant is created.
  • "Delayed" — Delay the physical allocation of the partitions. Sets the partitions' AllocateState properties to "Delayed", which allows them to be allocated by executing the Allocate( ) method on the ITenant object.
  • "None" — No automatic allocation. Sets the partitions' AllocateState properties to "None", which means that the allocation can only be done on each individual partition by executing the Allocate( ) method on the IPartition object.
Note: If you intend to make a tenant a member of a tenant group, set this property to "Delayed" so no storage is allocated to the tenant before you have allocated storage to the group.
DefaultDataArea IArea Readable, Writeable Set to the default data area for new table partitions.
DefaultIndexArea IArea Readable, Writeable Set to the default index area for new table partitions.
DefaultLobArea IArea Readable, Writeable Set to the default LOB area for new table partitions.
Description CHARACTER Readable, Writeable Set to a table partition description of your choice.
Name CHARACTER Readable, Writeable Set to a unique table partition name, with a maximum length 32 characters.
