Does anyone know of any good tools for fast, on-line reorgs of a very
large DB2 UDB table?
We need to reorg a couple of our large (+1 billion rows) tables. We
migrated from V7.2 to V8.1, but we still have type-1 indexes defined on
our tables, and cannot take advantage of the new Online Reorg utility
in V8. We could drop and recreate our indexes, but we have a lot (20+)
indexes on some of our larger tables, and that would take days, which
we don't have.
REORGCHK is starting to show that these tables are ready for a reorg,
and we'd like to get some of the free space back, to avoid expands, but
I'm not sure how.
Does anyone else have this problem? How are you reorging your
datawarehouse tables or are you not reorging them at all? Are there
any third party tools that would allow us to do inplace reorgs without
converting to type-2 indexes?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
