    Allow ALTER TABLE xxx COLUMN yyy SET NOT NULL

    The ability to change nearly everything about a column is really cool in Db2. Sadly, the one thing that you cannot easily change is the NULLability of any given column. This is definitely a requirement all over the place and currently can only be ...

    Deferred ALTERs can be materialized on a subset of partitions

    We have a 2048 partitioned Tablespace and need to ALTER the keyranges. Afterwards a REORG on the complete object is needed. We want a piecemeal tactic for the REORG: All ALTERs are in SYSPENDINGDDL, and a REORG on partition level can materialize a...
