  • Method and apparatus for loading data into multi-table tablespace
    Patent number: 8818953
    Abstract: A relational database load operation is disclosed for loading data into a multi-table tablespace, such as a segmented tablespace in a DB2® environment. In one aspect, the load operation allows one or more tables to be replaced in a single pass of the tablespace without modifying, loading or replacing other tables in the tablespace. Thus, the disclosed operation can replace one or more tables in a single pass of the tablespace without the need to unload and reload tables not targeted for replacement. In another aspect, the load operation allows for a combined operation where one or more tables are replaced and one or more tables are resumed in a single pass of the multi-table tablespace without modifying other tables already residing in the tablespace.
