<h1 class="topictitle1">Create Physical File (CRTPF) command and SQL CREATE TABLE statement</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>This topic provides information about creating a distributed physical
|
||
|
|
file by using the Create Physical File (CRTPF) command or the SQL CREATE TABLE
|
||
|
|
statement.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you want to create a partitioned file, you need to specify the following
|
||
|
|
parameters on the CRTPF command:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>A node group name for the NODGRP parameter</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The field or fields that are to be used as the partitioning key (use the
|
||
|
|
PTNKEY parameter)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The partitioning key determines where (on what node) each record of data
|
||
|
|
physically resides. You specify the partitioning key when the CRTPF command
|
||
|
|
is run or when the SQL CREATE TABLE statement is run. The values of the fields
|
||
|
|
that make up the partitioning key for each record are processed by the HASH
|
||
|
|
algorithm to determine where the record is located.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you have a single-field partitioning key, all records with the same
|
||
|
|
value in that field reside on the same system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you want to create a distributed physical file, your user profile must
|
||
|
|
exist on every node within the node group, and your user profile must have
|
||
|
|
the authority needed to create a distributed file on every node. If you need
|
||
|
|
to create a distributed file in a specific library, that library must exist
|
||
|
|
on every node in the node group, and your user profile must have the necessary
|
||
|
|
authority to create files in those libraries. If any of these factors are
|
||
|
|
not true, the file is not created.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The way that the systems are configured can influence the
|
||
|
|
user profile that is used on the remote system. To ensure that your user profile
|
||
|
|
is used on the remote system, that system should be configured as a secure
|
||
|
|
location. To determine if a system is configured as a secure location, use
|
||
|
|
the Work with Configuration Lists (WRKCFGL) command.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The following example shows how to create a physical file named PAYROLL
|
||
|
|
that is partitioned (specified by using the NODGRP parameter) and has a single
|
||
|
|
partitioning key on the employee number (EMPNUM) field: <pre>CRTPF FILE(PRODLIB/PAYROLL) SCRFILE(PRODLIB/DDS) SRCMBR(PAYROLL)
|
||
|
|
NODGRP(PRODLIB/PRODGROUP) PTNKEY(EMPNUM)</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>When the CRTPF command is run, the system creates a distributed physical
|
||
|
|
file to hold the local data associated with the distributed file. The CRTPF
|
||
|
|
command also creates physical files on all of the remote systems specified
|
||
|
|
in the node group.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The ownership of the physical file and the public authority on all the
|
||
|
|
systems is consistent. This consistency also includes any authority specified
|
||
|
|
on the AUT parameter of the CRTPF command.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The SQL CREATE TABLE statement also can be used to specify the node group
|
||
|
|
and the partitioning key. In the following example, an SQL table called PAYROLL
|
||
|
|
is created. The example uses the IN <em>nodgroup-name</em> clause and the PARTITIONING
|
||
|
|
KEY clause. <pre> CREATE TABLE PRODLIB/PAYROLL
|
||
|
|
(EMPNUM INT, EMPLNAME CHAR(12), EMPFNAME CHAR (12))
|
||
|
|
IN PRODLIB/PRODGROUP
|
||
|
|
PARTITIONING KEY (EMPNUM)</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>When the PARTITIONING KEY clause is not specified, the first column of
|
||
|
|
the primary key, if one is defined, is used as the first partitioning key.
|
||
|
|
If no primary key is defined, the first column defined for the table that
|
||
|
|
does not have a data type of date, time, timestamp, or floating-point numeric
|
||
|
|
is used as the partitioning key.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To see if a file is partitioned, use the Display File Description (DSPFD)
|
||
|
|
command. If the file is partitioned, the DSPFD command shows the name of the
|
||
|
|
node group, shows the details of the node group stored in the file object
|
||
|
|
(including the entire partition map), and lists the fields of the partitioning
|
||
|
|
key.</p>
