Definition
Flag used to indicate that a table is to be transparent and that it is to remain transparent even after a release change or upgrade.
Use
You can use the transparent flag to convert pooled tables by a simple method to transparent tables. Before you can do this, the pooled table must have status 'active'.
After setting the flag, activate the Technical Settings. In the case of a pooled table, you can then decide whether you want to convert the table into a transparent table online or in the background.
If you want to change the type of a table which has the transparent flag set, you first need to remove the flag and activate the Technical Settings. Then you must change the table type and convert the table using the database utility.
Note: Use the transparent flag only for changes to the table type from pooled to transparent. You should never use the flag for other table conversions.
