DB2 LUW v8.2 FP 14 RHAS 2.1
I'm confused about the NOTRUNCATE TABLE option of the REORG TABLE
INPLACE command. In my mind, truncating the table means that you
delete all rows that it has - why would you not use this option
as part of the reorg? If you want to truncate, why not just
delete the table and recreate it w/ DDL?
I deleted a great many rows from a wide table yesterday, then did
an online/inplace REORG against it, using the NOTRUNCATE TABLE
option. To my surprise, no pages were freed up in the tablespace.
Is this because I used the NOTRUNCATE option?
Yes, I have RTFM - but all it says about the option is "Do not
truncate the table after inplace reorganization. During truncation,
the table is S-locked."
Any explanation appreciated...

I believe the no truncate option does exactly what you saw. It
doesn't free up the empty pages for reuse by another object in the
tablespace. Those pages may be empty but they are reserved for the
object you reorged.

As the manual says, during the truncation the table is S-locked, which
means that it is read only.
This read-only phase may not be desirable in certain situations, which
is why you can eliminate it with the NOTRUNCATE TABLE option. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Using SQL against a DB2 table the 'with' key word is used to
dynamically create a temporary table with an SQL statement that is
retained for the duration of that SQL statement.
What is the equivalent to the SQL 'with' using TSQL? If there is not
one, what is the TSQL solution to creating a temporary table that is
associated with an SQL statement? Examples would be appreciated.
Thank you!!

I'm interested in using the fascinating CSS available at

To my mind this is very much what CSS is all about: allowing content

I apologize if this is a RTFM question, but I have not been able

Does a "REINDEX TABLE" lock the table while it is working?
Can applications write data to the table during the REINDEX?
I am working on a real-time application that handles over 2 million
"events" per day and runs 7-by-24. Most of these events involve an
UPDATE to one or two tables, though a small subset involve a bit
more work. ...

Sometimes I want to put a table inside a cell of another table (say, to

When I want the inner table's edges to correspond exactly with the edges of
the cell, I set the border (top, left, bottom, right) to zero for both the
inner table and outer table. Also padding to 0 and spacing to 0.
But, for some reason, there is still some space between the bottom of the
inner table and the bottom of the containing...

This is what I am trying to do:
Create a query that will insert a column from Table 2 into Table 1. These two tables are exactly the same in structure, however, there is no unique identifier in either table. For example, Table 1 has fields called Broker Number, Category, and Total Amount, and Table 2 also has fields called Broker Number, Category, and Total Amount. Broker Number and Category are identical in both tables,...
