DB2 Magazine Gets the Community Spirit
Some of you have noticed that the first DB2 Magazine issue of the year is a few months later than usual. If you've visited DB2mag.com in the past week, you've probably guessed why: We've been busily working out the next chapter in the magazine's history. The latest issue (available in print and online) includes great how-to articles on data governance,
DB2 security, Informix SQL scripts and performance tuning, plus coverage of IBM's FileNet acquisition and the Informix Dynamic Server (IDS)
(code name "Cheetah") beta program.
But we're trying something new, too: We're asking you to get involved, share your best ideas, comment on the new blog (eventually, blogs), give feedback, and generally share your opinions and experience. Help make the new DB2 Magazine Community Wiki the best online technical resource for IBM information management outside of IBM itself. Share those ideas and tips you've been trying to get into the print magazine for years.
You can help make this Web site the resource you want it to be. What are you going to make of it? |

How do you clone a portion of a database?
Let's say you want 10 percent for the overall size; would you take 10 percent from a primary file and then make sure all the referential integrity is maintained for all the other files? Some files would need to be copied in entirety. Find out what DB2 guru Roger Sanders suggests.
