3.3.2 Defining the physical structure of a UDS/SQL database
To define the physical data structure, you use the SSL (Storage Structure Language).
The SSL is used to specify mainly:
set information
data placement
optimization
links: internal tables, chains, lists.
The data is essentially distributed over database areas via the SSL, taking the following
aspects into account:
depending on access frequency,
according to physical storage options (disk capacity) and
according to the backup procedures used.
3.3.3 Views
Subschema
With the subschema DDL, the user selects sections from the database which are required
for a particular application.
For a detailed description of the subschema DDL, see page 183.
Relational schema
A relational schema is used in an SQL application. A relational schema is the relational view
of an actual subschema. Such a view can be derived from a subschema with the aid of the
utility BPSQLSIA.
For further information on the relational schema, see page 196.
