Interpreting the Table Descriptor

A table descriptor contains data definition specifications, such as owner, column names and data types, and storage space, that the CREATE INDEX, ALTER INDEX, and ALTER FRAGMENT statements specify for the virtual index. A table descriptor describes a single index fragment, so that the storage space and fragment identifier (part number) change in each of multiple table descriptors that the database server constructs for a fragmented index.

For a complete description, refer to Table Descriptor.
