MDAM
Description
Value
The value used is the system default setting that exists at execution.
SQL/MX determines whether to use MDAM.
Enable
MDAM is not used.
Off
MDAM is used.

Priority
The possible values are 1 through 9, where 9 is the highest value. You can specify a higher priority
for short-duration OLTP-type requests running with concurrent long-duration query requests.
CAUTION:
Using the highest possible value (9) can interfere with SQL/MX system-level activity.
Similarity check
Description
Value
The value used is the system default setting that exists at execution.
SQL/MX recompiles the statement at run time, depending on the outcome of late name resolution,
timestamp comparison, or table redefinition.
Off
SQL/MX performs similarity checks at run time to determine whether the new table is similar to the
previous table. If similar, SQL/MX uses the table without recompilation. Otherwise, the SQL statement
is recompiled with the new table name. This setting is the default.
On
Table Lock

This value indicates whether to use table locks for the specified table or view.
Enable
Table locks are not used.
Off
Table locks are used.
