Guidelines for Overriding Microsoft SQL Server Default Tablespaces for Database Objects

Siebel Business Applications provide the option of overriding the default storage parameters for the tablespaces that you create to hold specific tables or indexes. To do this, edit the ddl.ctl file located in the DBSRVR_ROOT\MSSQL directory.

NOTE:  The ddl.ctl file must not be modified except by a qualified DBA.

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

This topic is part of Configuring a Microsoft SQL Server Database for Siebel Business Applications.

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

[Object 219]
Type = Table
Name = S_APP_VIEW
Column 1 = ROW_ID VARCHAR(15) NOTNULL
Column 2 = CREATED TIMESTAMP NOTNULL DEFAULT %NOW%
Column 3 = CREATED_BY VARCHAR(15) NOTNULL
Column 4 = LAST UPD TIMESTAMP NOTNULL DEFAULT %NOW%
Column 5 = LAST_UPD_BY VARCHAR(15) NOTNULL
Column 6 = DCKING_NUM NUMERIC(22,7) DEFAULT 0
Column 7 = MODIFICATION_NUM NUMERIC(10,0) NOTNULL DEFAULT 0
Column 8 = CONFLICT_ID VARCHAR(15) NOTNULL DEFAULT '0'
Column 9 = NAME VARCHAR(50) NOTNULL
Column 10 = DESC_TEXT VARCHAR(255)
Column 11 = LOCAL_ACCESS_FLG CHAR(1)
Table Space = data1
