Storage maps control which parts of which tables get stored in a particular storage area in a multifile database. You name storage maps in CREATE STORAGE MAP statements. In syntax diagrams, the syntax element map-name specifies that you supply the name of a storage area at that place in the statement. In CREATE STORAGE MAP and other SQL statements, the names you give to storage maps in the CREATE statement can be qualified by aliases. NOTE In syntax diagrams, the map-name syntax element refers to either the qualified or unqualified form of the name given to the storage map in the CREATE STORAGE MAP statement. map-name = ---+------------------+-> <name-of-map> ---> +-> <alias> --> . -+
