Changing Default Data Area Attributes Using changeda

The changeda -d option allows you to change default data area attribute values for the data area.

To change default data area attributes

At a Landmark command prompt, type

changeda -d [attribute=value] [-v displayoptions] dataarea

where the default data area attributes that can be changed are:

Attribute Value
space

The database space name.

The space must already exist in the data area if you want to assign it as the default. See

Space Attributes.
charset The character set name.
splitlobstorage

If you set this to true, LOBs will be placed in separate tables and these tables will not be included in a database reorganization unless necessary. For a new installation, the default value of this attribute is true.

For more information on how to convert to using split LOB storage, see Converting to Split LOB Storage.

pmyincludedeleteflag If you set this to true, the system more efficiently processes searches against primary indexes that have deleted records. For a new installation, the default value of this attribute is true. For systems being updated to Landmark 10.0.2, you must run changeda to set the value to true.
Note: 

Only one attribute can be specified when running this command. To change more than one, run the command multiple times.

Other values in the command syntax are:

Entry Description
dataarea The data area to change attributes for.
-v displayoptions

errorlevel, tracelevel, and verbose specified in any order, where:

  • errorlevel = {n}none | {f}atal | {e}rror | {w}arning (warning is the default)

  • tracelevel = 0:6 where 0 is no message and 6 is everything

  • verbose = whether to display exception stacktrace
