Hi All:
In the table XYZ.ORD_DTL the column PDT_DESC is CHAR(35). I want to
increase it to CHAR(100). However, I am getting the following error.
Please help!
db2 =alter table XYZ.ORD_DTL alter column PDT_DESC SET DATA TYPE
CHAR(100)
DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was
not a
valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it
returned:
SQL0190N ALTER TABLE "OMS.ORD_DT L" specified attributes for column
"PDT_DESC"
that are not compatible with the existing column. SQLSTATE=42837
Thanks

You can only change VARCHAR data type directly with ALTER TABLE, but you can
do this:
CREATE TABLE TMP_ORD_DTL LIKE OMS.ORD_DTL;
INSERT INTO TMP_ORD_DTL SELECT * FROM OMS.ORD_DTL;
DROP TABLE OMS.ORD_DTL;
CREATE TABLE OMS.ORD_DTL
(
COLUMN1 CHAR(100),
.....
);
INSERT INTO OMS.ORD_DTL SELECT * FROM TMP_ORD_DTL;
DROP TABLE TMP_ORD_DTL;
Best regards,
Kovi

You cannot do it for CHAR column.
You can modify the characteristics of a column by increasing the length
of an existing VARCHAR or VARGRAPHIC 2 column. 2 The number of
characters may increase up to a value dependent on the page size used.
export/drop/re-create/load is one option.

Yes and other data types too :)
I've converted a table with millions of rows from DECIMAL(18,2) to
DECIMAL(31, 15) in matter of minutes. :)

Here is the table in question.
Number of records 5512825
not a big table and plenty of good indexs i think? that is the big
questions.
Could some one help?
After the table creation and index you will see a query that takes
almost 2.3 minutes to run this is totally bad. That time is through
the query analyzer.
Any help here would be greatly apperciated.

In my program, for reducing the complexity, the integer was stored as char,
so 2 is stored as '2', which is decimal: 50
Is is possible for me to obtain the integer value of '2' in the program,
i.e. I want to process '2' as int: 2, not int: 50 ?
Sorry for this newbie question.
