DB2 LUW 8.2
I need to have a combination of varchar columns, whose length is >1100,
as primary key, foreign key and unique index column.
When I try this, I get the error: SQL0613N The primary key or a unique
key identified by "PK_TEST" is too long or has too many columns.
SQLSTATE=54008
Any pointers on how to overcome this?
Thanks

According to the SQL Reference: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...n/r0001029.htm
Longest index key including all overhead (in bytes) 1024
So there is no way to change some sort of configuration.
Depending on what you want to do with the unique constraint, you could
reconsider your design. An artificial key is often chosen because it is
shorter and result in smaller index trees with a larger fan-out, implying
faster searches. If you can't do away with your long key at all, use an
artificial key and stick to triggers to ensure uniqueness of your longer
keys.
Or you can move to version 9, which sets the limit at 8K for a single key.

In an effort to improve the speed of queries against my main table,
I'll be indexing a column whose data type is varchar(50).
Would I be better off (better performance) if I changed the column's
data type to some numeric type? I would have to update the column's
data to accomodate this, but I would do it if this offers a
performance gain.

I need to validate a text box entry, but ONLY if it is 17 characters,
otherwise I have to ignore it. My regular expression for the
validation is:
^(({9})()()(\d{6}))$
Can I adapt this to "fire" only if the string in question is 17 chars
in length? Or do I have to do this server-side?
Thanks

The human resource manager recently had a candidate who claimed one of

Dependent upon the version of DB2 one or the other answer of a multiple

The HRM asked me to look into the matter, but since I am no expert in
