Alias Defaults tab

The Alias Defaults tab displays default options for creating new aliases. You can specify a default alias if you use DB2® for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, or DB2 for z/OS.

Example of the Alias Defaults tab on the DB Alias Editor, described as follows.

Select the default options that are used to provide the identifier for new aliases. You can create an alias that is based on the following items:

Object
Identifier from a corresponding target object. For aliases, the corresponding target object is the table, view, or alias referenced in the alias.
Source
Identifier from the source alias.
Current ID
Current database user ID from the destination.
Explicit
New identifier. If you select this option, you must specify an identifier.
