OpenEdge offers three ways to view default storage areas for creating database objects: the PROUTIL utility, the Data Dictionary, and the Data Administration tool.

View default storage areas with the PROUTIL utility

PROUTIL qualifiers let you show the default storage areas by object type:

For example, the following statement shows the default area where large objects will be created. 
proutil mydb -C dispobjectdefaultarea LOB

View default storage areas in the Data Dictionary

The Data Dictionary also shows default area for table/index/lob. To view all the default areas, click the dropdown list.

View default storage areas in the Data Administration tool

In the Data Administration tool, you can show a report that lists information about the database. You can access this report under Utilities> Information. If the currently selected database supports default storage areas, the Currently Selected Database under Session Information shows either the default area names for table, index and LOB data or "undefined," if no areas are defined.

View default storage areas in SQL

To view the default areas in SQL, use the SHOW DATABASE DEFAULT AREA statement. For details, see SHOW DATABASE DEFAULT AREA.
