Automatic Add Options

Each access path initially contains all of the relations for the file on which it is based, but none of the virtuals. If you add a new relation to a file, the effect on the access path is controlled by the Automatic Add setting. Following are the three Auto Add settings:

Setting

Description

*Attr Only

Only attributes are added (physical file changes).

*All

Both virtuals and attributes are added.

*Held

No changes are made to the access path. This prevents level checking.
