Indexing on log

Drop Databases Created by Implicit Mapping Tables

Problem statement/ pain point: We have started to use on-line reorgs without specifying the mapping table because v11 will generate one for you. Pretty cool. Db2 will create a database, DSNnext_db_identity_number, create a table space, create the ...
