Definition

Name of the physical storage space in the database where the table or its indexes can be found.

DBspacename is a table parameter that you can define yourself. If you make no specification, the table is stored in a predefined DBspace. For data and indexes, this table is called PSAPUSER1, provided you have created the table yourself (i.e. it was not created by SAP).

You can specify the DBspacename in the CREATE TABLE statement (using IN) and then create the table and its indexes in this space. In the R/3 System, the DBspacename is normally determined by the data class (e.g.: data class APPL1 ---> DBspacename PSAPBTAB).

Note

Please note that, if you change the DBspacename, you also have to convert the table (i.e. changing the parameter becomes effective only after the conversion).
