Dropped Table Recovery with SAP on DB2
Beginning with DB2 UDB V8.2 a feature called ‘dropped table recovery’ is available in DB2. This feature helps to recreate a single table and its data in case the table was dropped unintentionally. In this post I explain how dropped table recovery works, why it is normally switched off in SAP installations and how you can optionally enable it. Dec. 17, 2008

New Tool for Activation of Large Record Identifiers in DB2 9 for Linux, UNIX and Windows
DB2 9 introduced Larger Record Identifiers (LRIDs) to overcome table size limits existing in DB2 UDB 8.

I'd like to present here a scenario which explains why it might be a good idea to activate LRIDs for _all_ tables of your database - and how this can be achieved with a new ABAP based tool. Nov. 14, 2007
