Overriding Default Storage Parameters

Siebel Systems provides the option of overriding the default storage parameters, such as the filegroups you create to hold specific tables or indexes. To do this, edit the ddl.ctl file located in the dbsrvr\MSSQL directory.

NOTE:  The ddl.ctl file should be modified only by a qualified DBA.

For each Siebel table, you can specify a filegroup by using the Table Space parameter. In the following example, the filegroup for the table S_APP_VIEW is set to DATA1. As provided by Siebel Systems, the .ctl file does not set storage parameters for the objects it creates, so objects default to the parameters of the filegroups in which they are created.

As shown in the example that follows, you can use the Table Space parameter to set storage parameters for specific tables.
