Designing databasesThe first step in creating a relational database is to construct a data model, which is a precise, complete definition of the data you want to store. After you prepare your data model, you must implement it as a database and tables. To implement your data model, you first select a data type for each column and then you create a database and tables and populate the tables with data. You can also implement fragmentation strategies and control access to your data.
Designing and Implementing a DatabaseThe HCL OneDB™ Database Design and Implementation Guide provides information to help you design, implement, and manage your HCL® OneDB® databases. It includes data models that illustrate different approaches to database design and shows you how to use structured query language (SQL) to implement and manage your databases.

Use the MOD function

Use the MOD function

You can use the MOD function in a FRAGMENT BY EXPRESSION clause to map each row in a table to a set of integers (hash values). The database server uses these values to determine in which fragment it will store a given row. The following example shows how you might use the MOD function in an expression-based distribution scheme:

FRAGMENT BY EXPRESSION
MOD(id_num, 3) = 0 IN dbsp1,
MOD(id_num, 3) = 1 IN dbsp2,
MOD(id_num, 3) = 2 IN dbsp3
