Modify TimesTen Connection Attributes

TimesTen uses connection attributes to define the attributes of a database. There are three types of connection attributes:

  • Data store attributes: Define the characteristics of a database that can only be changed by destroying and recreating the database.

  • First connection attributes: Define the characteristics of a database that can be changed by unloading and reloading the database into memory.

  • General connection attributes: Control how applications access the database. These attributes persist for the duration of the connection.

For more information on TimesTen connection attributes, see List of Connection Attributes in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Reference and Connection Attributes for Data Manager DSNs or Server DSNs in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

In a Kubernetes environment:

  • You can only modify data store attributes by deleting the TimesTenClassic object and the PersistentVolumeClaims associated with the TimesTenClassic object. Doing so results in the deletion of the TimesTen databases.

  • You can modify first connection and general connection attributes without deleting a TimesTenClassic object (which deletes the databases) and the PersistentVolumeClaims associated with the TimesTenClassic object. Note that there are TimesTen restrictions when modifying some of the first connection attributes.

To modify first or general connection attributes:

  • You must first edit the db.ini file. Complete the procedure in the Manually Edit the db.ini File section. This section must be completed first.

Then, take these steps:
