Relaxes the requirement for exclusive access to a database in order to make the following schema changes online:

  • Add new sequences.
  • Add new tables, as well as any associated fields, indexes, and database triggers (which must be added within the same transaction).
  • Add new fields to an existing table. (You cannot define ASSIGN triggers for new fields while the database is online.)
  • Add new inactive indexes to an existing table.
