Translate Table Access Path
The characteristics of an access path are based on the translate table content remaining unchanged. An access path is repeatable and the same results will always be returned when the same source value is provided. It is repeatable across disguise requests whether they are for the same object or for different objects. The access path is created as part of managing the translate table.
The behavior of each access path is different, so the access path failed conditions and characteristics of an access path have been identified within each access path type.
An access path is unique when any row of the translate table can only be returned for one source value. Unique assumes that the replacement values provided in the translate table are unique. Processing will not verify that the values are unique.
