• Partitioned tables

    From Jonathan Ball@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 14 16:07:37 2018
    We are in the process of partitioning some large tables because they
    soon will reach the limits for a single partition. In testing, we have
    a program that is writing a row/record (native RPG write) that should go
    to the third partition based on the range key. The write attempt is
    trying to put it into the first partition, and it is throwing a check constraint violation CPF502F: "Check constraint violation on member PART000001."

    I would have expected the DB2 database manager would take care of
    ensuring the row was written to the correct partition. I can't find
    anything in the programming reference manuals addressing how to ensure
    that the row is written to the correct partition. Changing the programs
    to use SQL inserts rather than native language writes is not an option.

    Any thoughts?

    To do typical native I/O on a partitioned table requires a
    non-partitioned index that spans all of the partitions in the table. A
    write to the index in a HLL program will be put into the correct
    partition by the database manager.
