Translating with DrWatson… this can take a few seconds the first time.
This is a genuine, complex translation. DrWatson protects commands, error codes, and log output while naturally translating the surrounding text. It’s translated once and saved.
Amit Patel created a CLOB table with PUT ... IN (sbs001, sbs002, sbs003) on 14.10.FC6X3, but only sbs001 received data. Andreas Legner suspected the SBSPACENAME setting overrode the PUT clause; David Williams asked for versions and onstat -g smb output and cited a similar IBM community thread. Amit supplied sbspace output. Unresolved.

Dear All,
I'm working on IDS 14.10 using Solaris 5.
I've created a table and need to store the data in multiple SBSPACEs, used below syntax:
create table "informix".cs_csid_phto_00 (
seqn Integer not null,
phto_file clob not null
) PUT phto_file IN (sbs001, sbs002, sbs003)
extent size 1024 next size 1024 lock mode row;
Config Changes:
but when I checked, all the sbspaces, only sbs001 had been used
Could someone please help to know me how can I distribute table data in multiple sbspaces.
Thanks
Amit Patel

Hi Amit,
How exactly did you populate this new table after creating it?
Where did the sblob data come from, and what precise syntax or technique had been used?
What you're describing sounds like that PUT clause got ignored during sblob creation and instead the SBSPACENAME configuration got picked. What would happen if you left the SBSPACENAME parameter empty instead?
BR,
Andreas

Dear Andreas,
Sorry for late reply.
initially there was one another table where the data was in text column. Later created new table cs_csid_phto_XX and the data was being inserted from TEXT column to new table cs_csid_phto_XX after decrypting it via base64 mechanism.
We were thinking to fragment the table in three SBSPACES, so gave above format to create table with multiple sbspace.
SBSPACENAME parameter also taking one 1 values as default. We checked all in Google.
But currently only SBSPACE sbs001 is taking all the data, other dbs002 , sbs003 are still empty. Data is not being fragmented to other sbspaces.
Regards
Amit Patel
