Partition Location

When a partition directory is not specified, the database path (that is, the location of the database control file _control.dat) is used. Relative paths are assumed to be relative to the database path.

You can also specify the location of individual partitions. The location of a partition is stored in the partition control record associated with the partition.

JADE Database Administration utility (jdbadmin) actions enable you to change an offline partition or move an online partition to a different file system location or to change or clear partition locations in a deployed system. For details, see Chapter 2 of the JADE Database Administration Guide.

RootSchema classes (for example, the DbFile and JadeDbFilePartition classes) implement methods that enable you to query or manipulate partition state such as location, including moving the partition to a different file system path, if required.
