Specifies one, two, or three default threshold values for logical areas in storage areas with uniform format pages. The threshold values (val1, val2, and val3) represent a fullness percentage on a data page and establish three possible ranges of guaranteed free space on the data pages. When a data page reaches the percentage defined by a given threshold value, the space area management (SPAM) entry for the data page is updated to reflect the new fullness percentage and its remaining free space. Oracle Rdb never stores a record at the third threshold. The value you set for the highest threshold can be used to reserve space on the page for future record growth. When only val1 is specified, this is equivalent to (val1, 100, 100). When val1 and val2 are specified, this is equivalent to (val1, val2, 100). The trailing, unspecified thresholds default to 100 percent. For example, THRESHOLDS ARE (40) would appear as (40, 100, 100). If no thresholds are specified for the area, the default is (0,0,0). This causes the SPAM algorithm to set thresholds based on the nominal record length for the logical area; for example, the node size for the index or the uncompressed length of the row for a table. You cannot specify the thresholds for the storage map attribute for any area that is a mixed page format. If you have a mixed page format, set the thresholds for the storage area using the ADD STORAGE AREA or CREATE STORAGE AREA clause of the ALTER DATABASE, CREATE DATABASE, or IMPORT statements.
