Combining Nonfragmented Tables to Create a Fragmented Table

When you transform tables with identical table structures into fragments in a single table, you allow the database server to manage the fragmentation instead of allowing the application to manage the fragmentation. The distribution scheme can be round-robin or expression based.

To make a single, fragmented table from two or more identically-structured, nonfragmented tables, the ATTACH clause must contain the surviving table in the attach list. The attach list is the list of tables in the ATTACH clause.

In Dynamic Server, to include a rowid column in the newly-created single, fragmented table, attach all tables first and then add the rowid with the ALTER TABLE statement.
