A table descriptor contains data definition specifications, such as owner, column names and data types, and storage space that the CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, and ALTER FRAGMENT statements specify for the virtual table. A table descriptor describes a single table 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 table.
For a complete description, refer to Descriptor Function Reference.
