Syntax options THRESHOLDS ARE ( val1 [,val2 [,val3] ] ) Specifies one, two, or three threshold values. The threshold values represent a fullness percentage on a data page and establish four 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. The default thresholds are 70, 85, and 95 percent. If you specify only one or two values, unspecified values default to 100 percent. You cannot specify the THRESHOLDS storage area parameter for single-file databases, and you cannot specify THRESHOLDS unless you also explicitly specify PAGE FORMAT IS MIXED. To specify thresholds for uniform storage areas, use the CREATE STORAGE MAP statement. For more information about setting space area management parameters, see the Oracle Rdb Guide to Database Maintenance.
