Database Storage
You can create all database component objects in the same database storage or you can create the objects for each database component in its own database storage. Use the Database Component Configurator and the instructions in this chapter to create database storage.
Important: Always use the Database Component Configurator to create database storage and tablespaces or filegroups. Do not create them manually.
The table below shows the database storage convention that all database components follow by default.
RDBMS | Data Storage Unit | Index Storage Unit | BLOB Storage Unit |
DB2 tablespaces | WEBMDATA | WEBMINDX | WEBMBLOB |
MySQL | Default | Default | Default |
Oracle tablespaces | WEBMDATA | WEBMINDX | WEBMDATA |
SQL Server filegroups | Primary | Primary | Primary |
You can use a different convention when you create database storage.
