Working with CLOBs Using the Database Storage Configurator

Your Siebel application is delivered with the objects needed to create character large objects (CLOBs). You can use these objects to create CLOBs at the table level only, to avoid excessive processing overhead.

The following procedure describes how to activate a CLOB.

To activate a CLOB

1. Launch the Database Storage Configurator.

   This task is described in Modifying a Storage Control File Using the Database Storage Configurator.

2. Click Structures, and then the Table tab.
3. Review the contents of the CLOB column.

   To activate a specific CLOB, type Yes in the appropriate row in the CLOB column, and then save the value by stepping off the cell.

   NOTE:  The Auxiliary Tablespace tab displays a table name that is used as a pointer to a real auxiliary table space. The parameters displayed under this tab are the only parameters you can change for the auxiliary object.

4. Make any other changes needed to the template you are using, then verify and save the changes.
