Hi everybody,
I'm starting up with those generated columns of the DB2, but all the examples that I come up are simple, and as far as I've read the thing I want to do is not possible. Can someone give me some light?
I have a table MPAGOS with several columns (PP, SUCUR, PR, MODIMP, FECHAE, JEFA,.....) the key in this case are PP and SUCUR columns. I would like to have a generated column (or similar) that is handle by the DB2 not by the application with row number for each value of the key columns. What I have understand is that the generated column is a numeric value that is related to the complete table, for example if the table has 35 rows, the generated column will have 35 different values despicte the keys that table will have.
Let me put a graphical example:
Currently,
PP SUCUR PR MODIMP FECHAE JEFA
345 PM_1 US 67,9 20041028 PM
345 PM_2 RG 2,01 20051214 PM
345 PM_3 FG 3,87 20061204 PM
346 M DF 2,19 20060227 M
346 H_1 RF 0,98 20060604 H
347 BI KK -0,98 20070104 BI
What I like to have is a third column named NUMSEC that is a generated colum with the secuential values for each key, as follows.
PP SUCUR NUMSEC PR MODIMP FECHAE JEFA
345 PM_1 001 US 67,9 20041028 PM
345 PM_2 002 RG 2,01 20051214 PM
345 PM_3 003 FG 3,87 20061204 PM
346 M 001 DF 2,19 20060227 M
346 H_1 002 RF 0,98 20060604 H
347 BI 001 KK -0,98 20070104 BI
The main reason to do this is because I don't trust the current data quality and also, I think the posibility of repeated keys although improbable is a posibility.
Thanks a lot to all in advance.

Every time during development we had to make table changes, we use Control

doesn't, and you end up losing your identity seed, or your constraints, or

Hi,
I have a table where one of the columns is automatically generated as
a substring of values of some other column.
When i create a copy of that schema using sysproc.admin_copy_schema,
the table goes in pending state, because the data in the table was
inserted fully and the column was not automatically generated(i think
this is the reason).
I tried to get it out of pending state by issuing "SET

I want to create a new column in a datatable from two existing columns. I
have no problem to create the new column using the datatable.columns.add
method. The problem is the value of the new column may become system.dbnull
since one of the two existing columns may have system.dbnull. How can I fix
it so the new column will get the value of the other column even the other
column is system.dbnull?
