Table spaces in database partition groups

By placing a table space in a multiple-partition database partition group, all of the tables within the table space are divided or partitioned across each database partition in the database partition group.

The table space is created into a database partition group. Once in a database partition group, the table space must remain there; it cannot be changed to another database partition group. The CREATE TABLESPACE statement is used to associate a table space with a database partition group.
