Problem IC63760 | Status: Closed |
Table size may unnecessarily increase after failed inserts. | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
When rows are inserted into a table, if all the free space in the existing pages is consumed, the table will to into append mode temporarily, until more space is available for inserts; for example, when subsequent inserts cause a new page to be added to the table. This can for instance happen on an import. However, if those subsequent inserts fail, the new page will still be allocated to the table but the table may remain in append mode. This will result in further inserts being appended to the table rather than reusing the space freed up by the failed inserts. This can cause the table to grow in size without new rows being added. | |
