Modifying the entity database has risks and should not be performed
without sufficient experience or expertise.
- Tables should not be added to the entity database without sufficient experience
or expertise
- Adding fields to database tables is a process that involves more than
just the table in question. It is recommended to use existing tables and fields
to classify new data if at all possible.
- Database table indexes should not be modified. Modifying the indexes on
the database tables may cause unpredictable and undesirable results, such
as the Visualizer hanging.
- It is recommended that DQM changes only be performed with sufficient expertise
or with the help of IBM.
- Always use a test database when verifying new configurations before applying
those new configurations to your production environment.
