db2 V8的有关SQL limits

Notes: a This maximum can be achieved using a join in the CREATE VIEW statement. Selecting from such a view is subject to the limit of most elements in a select list. b The actual data for BLOB, CLOB, LONG VARCHAR, DBCLOB, and LONG VARGRAPHIC columns is not included in this count. However, information about the location of that data does take up some space in the row. c The numbers shown are architectural limits and approximations. The practical limits may be less. d The actual value will be the value of the MAXAGENTS configuration parameter. e This is an architectural limit. The limit on the most columns in an index key should be used as the practical limit. f Table objects include data, indexes, LONG VARCHAR or VARGRAPHIC columns, and LOB columns. Table objects that are in the same table space as the table data do not count extra toward the limit. However, each table object that is in a different table space than the table data does contribute one toward the limit for each table object type per table in the table space in which the table object resides. g For page size-specific values, seeTable 12 . h This is limited only by the longest index key, including all overhead (in bytes). As the number of index key parts increases, the maximum length of each key part decreases.
