Syntax options: FILL RANDOMLY | FILL SEQUENTIALLY Specifies whether to fill the area set randomly or sequentially. Specifying FILL RANDOMLY or FILL SEQUENTIALLY requires a FOR clause. When a storage area is filled, it is removed from the list of available areas. Oracle Rdb does not attempt to store any more lists in that area during the current database attach. Instead, Oracle Rdb starts filling the next specified area. When a set of areas is filled sequentially, Oracle Rdb stores lists in the first specified area until that area is filled. If the set of areas is filled randomly, lists are stored across multiple areas. This is the default. Random filling benefits from the I/O distribution across the storage areas. The keywords FILL RANDOMLY and FILL SEQUENTIALLY can only be applied to areas contained within an area list.
