LOB properties
Tablespace
The only parameter of LOB parameters you can specify for a hash partition or hash subpartition. It allows you to define storage characteristics of the field.
Storage in row
Specify whether the LOB value is to be stored in the row (inline) or outside of the row (out of line). The LOB locator is always stored inline regardless of where the LOB value is stored. If checked the clause specifies that the LOB value is stored inline if its length is less than approximately 4000 bytes minus system control information. Otherwise, the LOB value is stored out of line regardless of the length of the LOB value.
Chunk size
Specify the number of bytes to be allocated for LOB manipulation. If integer is not a multiple of the database block size, then Oracle Database rounds up (in bytes) to the next multiple. For example, if the database block size is 2048 and integer is 2050, then the database allocates 4096 bytes (2 blocks).The maximum value is 32768 (32 K), which is the largest Oracle Database block size allowed. The default size is one Oracle Database block.
Use retention
Use this clause to indicate that Oracle Database should retain old versions of this LOB column.You can specify the retention parameter only if the database is running in automatic undo mode.
Old versions space
Specify the maximum percentage of overall LOB storage space used for maintaining old versions of the LOB. The default value is 10, meaning that older versions of the LOB data are not overwritten until they consume 10% of the overall LOB storage space.
Free pools
Specify the number of groups of free lists for the LOB segment. Normally integer will be the number of instances in a Real Application Clusters environment or 1 for a single-instance database. You can specify this parameter only if the database is running in automatic undo mode.
Cache
Use the CACHE clauses to indicate how Oracle Database should store blocks in the buffer cache.
Logging
The clause lets you specify whether creation of a database object will be logged in the redo log file or not.
