Data Row Format and Rowid
Data Row Format and Rowid
OnLine canstore rows thatare longer than apage. OnLine also supports the
VARCHAR data type, which results in rows of varying length.
Asaresult,rowsdo not conformtoasingleformat.Thefollowingfactsabout
rows must be considered when OnLine stores data rows in a page:
Rows within a table are not necessarily the same length.
The length of a row may change when it is modified.
The length of a row can be greater than a page.
Blobs are not stored within the data row. Instead, the data row
contains a 56-byte descriptor that points to the location of the blob.
(The descriptor can point to either a dbspace blob page or a
blobspace blobpage.)
Refer to IBM Informix Guide to SQL: Tutorial for instructions about how to
estimate the length of fixed-length and variable-length data rows.
The term rowid refers to a unique 4-byte integer that is a combination of a
page identification number (the logical page number) and the number of an
entry in the slot table on that page. The rowid defines the location of a data
row.(Refertopage 2-121foradefinitionoftheslottableandhow itstoresthe
