In below link, IBM says that we can choose to ALTER TABLE or REORG TABLESPACE if data of a particular partition has reached its maximum capacity 4G.

publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp/v2r2/topic/com.ibm.db2z10.doc.admin/src/tpc/db2z_changepartitionboundary.htm

But what if the data excess its maximum capacity of 4G when online transaction happens? Will this cause a DB2 error and thus online transactions keep abend till DBA implements ALTER TABLE or REORG TABLESPACE against that table?
I mean, can we let DB2 REBALANCE partitions automatically when data reaches its partition's maximum capacity?

As DB2 is the most powerful database in the universe, I suppose there must be such functions...

Yes, you can prepare automated scripts and rebalance partitions before it reaches its maximum capacity during the downtime.

Thanks,

Why would you believe this. . . icon_rolleyes.gif

DB2 has the biggest market share for mainframe database products, but that has nothing to do with being a "powerful database".

As many have said - If DB2 was not an IBM product, it would have been pulled from the market many, many years ago.
