Specifies a default storage area to which all user data and
unmapped indexes are stored. The DEFAULT STORAGE AREA parameter
separates user data from the system data, such as system tables.
RDB$SYSTEM is the default area if you do not specify a default
storage area.
In addition to user data, Oracle Rdb stores the following system
tables in the default storage area:
o RDB$INTERRELATIONS
o RDB$MODULES
o RDB$ROUTINES
o RDB$PARAMETERS
o RDB$QUERY_OUTLINES
o RDB$SEQUENCES
o RDB$PROFILES
o RDB$GRANTED_PROFILES
o RDB$TYPES
o RDB$TYPE_FIELDS
o RDB$WORKLOAD
o RDB$OBJECT_SYNONYMS
o RDB$SYNONYMS
o RDB$CATALOG_SCHEMA
For information on moving these system tables to other
storage areas, see the Oracle Rdb Guide to Database Design and
Definition.
The DEFAULT STORAGE AREA parameter must reference an existing
storage area. You must create the storage area using the CREATE
STORAGE AREA clause in the same CREATE DATABASE statement as the
DEFAULT STORAGE AREA parameter.
