Parameters
- db-name

- lob-name
- Specifies the LOB object for which you are setting the toss limit.
- toss-limit
- Specifies the new toss limit.
- tenant tenant-name
- Specifies that the toss limit is to be set on the LOB object
associated with tenant-name. If tenant-name is
not valid, is part of a group, or is not associated with the specified
LOB object, SETLOBTOSSLIMIT exits with an error. Specifying
tenantis only allowed on databases enabled for multi-tenancy. - group group-name
- Specifies that the toss limit is to be set on LOB object associated
with group-name. If group-name is
not valid or is not associated with partition in the area, SETLOBTOSSLIMIT
exits with an error. Specifying
groupis only allowed on databases enabled for multi-tenancy. - partition partition-name
- Specifies that the toss limit is to be set on LOB object associated with the table
partition partition-name. If partition-name is not
valid or is not associated with the specified LOB object, SETLOBTOSSLIMIT exits with an
error. Specifying
partitionis only allowed on databases enabled for table partitioning. - composite initial
- Specifies that the toss limit is to be set on LOB object associated with the composite
initial partition of lob-name. If lob-name is
not associated with a partitioned table, SETLOBTOSSLIMIT exits with an error. Specifying
composite initialis only allowed on databases enabled for table partitioning.
Notes
- For a Type II area, SETLOBTOSSLIMIT sets the LOB toss limit for the specified LOB. For a Type I area, SETLOBTOSSLIMIT issues a warning that all tables and LOBs in an area must have the same toss limit, and prompts you to confirm setting the toss limit for all tables and LOBs in the area containing the specified LOB.
- The toss limit value must be greater than zero (0) and less than the block size minus 128 bytes.
- For databases with a 1K block size, the default toss limit is 150. For all other database block sizes, the default toss limit is 300.
