Create an archive database by issuing the create archive database command:
create archive database db_name [on db_device [= size] [, db_device [= size] ] ... ] with scratch_database = db_name
where:
on – specifies the modified pages section. Adaptive Server requires traditional database storage to store modified pages. Use the on clause to specify the location and size of the modified pages section.
db device – specifies the database device on which you want to create your modified pages section.
size – specifies the size of the modified pages section you want to create. If you omit size, 5120 pages are allocated.
with scratch_database – (required) specifies the name of an existing database in which information about the archive database is maintained. The sysaltusages system table, which maps logical pages in the archive database onto physical pages, is stored in the scratch database.
