setPartitioned

setPartitioned(onOff: Boolean) updating;

The setPartitioned method of the DbFile class changes the partitioned attribute of an empty database file (that is, a non‑instantiated database file), as shown in the following example.

begin
    beginTransaction;
    Customer.getDbFile.setPartitioned(true);
    commitTransaction;
end;

Converting a non‑partitioned file that contains objects to a partitioned format is accomplished using a file‑based reorganization operation initiated by the JADE Database Administration utility (jdbadmin) MakePartitioned action.

An exception is raised if the database file is locked for reorganization, more than one class is mapped to the file, or the file contains objects.
