Status Not under consideration

Increase the maximum size of a LOB object per table or per table partition

SQL and XML limits
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0001029.html

The maximum size of a LOB object of 4 terrabyte leads to the necessity of partitioning the table just due to this limit. Since more and more applications store LOBs (scanned documents with signatures) this limit can be reached by tables with numerous rows.
