The name of the storage area that will hold all segmented strings. You can only specify the SEGMENTED STRING STORAGE AREA clause in a multifile database. In a multifile database, if you do not explicitly define a storage area for segmented strings, they will be stored in the default storage area (RDB$SYSTEM). The page format for the segmented string storage area can be UNIFORM or MIXED. However, Rdb recommends that if you store segmented strings in a MIXED storage area, the storage area contain only segmented strings.
