Specifies SPAM thresholds for logical areas with uniform format pages. When you specify the THRESHOLD clause without enclosing it in parentheses, you are specifying the default threshold values for all areas specified in the ALTER STORAGE MAP statement. You cannot alter the thresholds for any storage areas which are part of the storage map. Only specify this clause for storage areas being added to the storage area by the ALTER STORAGE MAP statement. To specify threshold values for a particular storage area, specify the clause as part of the STORE clause and enclose the THRESHOLD clause in parentheses. You can only specify threshold values for new areas, not existing ones. For examples of specifying the THRESHOLD clause, see the Oracle Rdb Guide to Database Design and Definition. See the CREATE STORAGE_MAP statement for a description of the THRESHOLDS clause.
