Database Properties

Database Properties

Database properties provide information about the database that stores the repository metadata. You specify the database properties when you create the PowerCenter Repository Service. After you create a repository, you may need to modify some of these properties. For example, you might need to change the database user name and password, or you might want to adjust the database connection timeout.
The following table describes the database properties:
Property
Description
Database Type
Type of database storing the repository. To apply changes, restart the PowerCenter Repository Service.
Code Page
Repository code page. The PowerCenter Repository Service uses the character set encoded in the repository code page when writing data to the repository. You cannot change the code page in the PowerCenter Repository Service properties after you create the PowerCenter Repository Service.
This is a read-only field.
Connect String
Native connection string the PowerCenter Repository Service uses to access the database containing the repository. For example, use
servername@dbname
for Microsoft SQL Server and
dbname.world
for Oracle.
To apply changes, restart the PowerCenter Repository Service.
Table Space Name
Tablespace name for IBM DB2 and Sybase repositories. When you specify the tablespace name, the PowerCenter Repository Service creates all repository tables in the same tablespace. You cannot use spaces in the tablespace name.
You cannot change the tablespace name in the repository database properties after you create the service. If you create a PowerCenter Repository Service with the wrong tablespace name, delete the PowerCenter Repository Service and create a new one with the correct tablespace name.
To improve repository performance on IBM DB2 EEE repositories, specify a tablespace name with one node.
To apply changes, restart the PowerCenter Repository Service.
Optimize Database Schema
Enables optimization of repository database schema when you create repository contents or back up and restore an IBM DB2 or Microsoft SQL Server repository. When you enable this option, the Repository Service creates repository tables using Varchar(2000) columns instead of CLOB columns wherever possible. Using Varchar columns improves repository performance because it reduces disk input and output and because the database buffer cache can cache Varchar columns.
To use this option, the repository database must meet the following page size requirements:
  • IBM DB2: Database page size 4 KB or greater. At least one temporary tablespace with page size 16 KB or greater.
  • Microsoft SQL Server: Database page size 8 KB or greater.
Default is disabled.
Database Username
Account for the database containing the repository. Set up this account using the appropriate database client tools. To apply changes, restart the PowerCenter Repository Service.
Database Password
Repository database password corresponding to the database user. Must be in 7-bit ASCII. To apply changes, restart the PowerCenter Repository Service.
Database Connection Timeout
Period of time that the PowerCenter Repository Service tries to establish or reestablish a connection to the database system. Default is 180 seconds.
Database Array Operation Size
Number of rows to fetch each time an array database operation is issued, such as insert or fetch. Default is 100.
To apply changes, restart the PowerCenter Repository Service.
Database Pool Size
Maximum number of connections to the repository database that the PowerCenter Repository Service can establish. If the PowerCenter Repository Service tries to establish more connections than specified for DatabasePoolSize, it times out the connection after the number of seconds specified for DatabaseConnectionTimeout. Default is 500. Minimum is 20.
Table Owner Name
Name of the owner of the repository tables for a DB2 repository.
You can use this option for DB2 databases only.
