partitionable

Type: Boolean

The read-only partitionable property of the DbFile class specifies whether partitioning rules are to be enforced for the DbFile instance.

When the partitionable property is set to true, the compiler and the Jade Platform development environment enforce file partitioning rules for the schema-defined DbFile instance irrespective of whether the file is physically partitioned.

Setting the partitionable property to false does not prevent a file from being partitioned. To enable partitioning on an empty database file, execute the setPartitioned method of the DbFile class passing true as the parameter. When partitioning is enabled on a database file, the partitionable property is also set if it was not already set.

You can change the value of the partitionable property:

• From the Jade Platform development environment, by checking the Partitionable check box on the File dialog. This check box is disabled if it is not valid for the selected file.

• During a batch schema load.

• By calling the DbFile class setPartitioned method.
