Allow converting of the SYSCATSPACE to the reclaimable storage.

There is no way to convert the Catalog tablespace to RECLAIMABLE storage. The only workaround is to create a new database and to migrate the objects and the data. Since, we have a lot of databases which were created in pre-9.7 versions, we are stu...

Improvements in db2relocatedb tool.

Database relocation in DB2 (db2relocatedb) – is a nightmare. It's a total black box, which executes in an offline and non-recoverable mode. Nobody knows if it's succeeded (even when it returns successful execution message) or failed or when it r...

Page-level recovery request.

DB2 is not able to repair a single bad page, i.e. to perform a page-level recovery.This causes a downtime because the only solution is the execution of the OFFLINE procedures, like RESTORE/RECOVER/db2dart.

Viewing of corrupted pages by SELECTing of catalog.

DB2 doesn't allow viewing of corrupted pages by SELECTing of catalog (like V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION in Oracle). The current workaround is:1) Execution of offline db2dart 2) OR the online INSPECT.
