- Most vaults are local.
- Foreign vaults are used with Adaplets, which allow data from
virtually any source to be modeled as objects.
- External vaults are used with External stores that contain data
maintained by external
servers.
When defining a vault in MQL, you do not need to specify which type it
is. The system knows which type of vault you are defining by the parameters you
specify for the vault.
- For local vaults, you define Oracle tablespaces using the Tablespace
and Indexspace clauses.
- For foreign vaults, you specify tablespaces, and Interface and Map
fields (using the Interface and Map clauses).
- External vaults need only a parameters file.
For the complete syntax and clauses for working with vaults, see
vault Command.
