DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

The original problem was the a user could create a table with a 
NULL character in the name, but then could not drop the table or 
insert anything into it. This was happening because there was a 
check to ensure no NULL characters in the table name, but this 
check only happened on insert and drop commands, not on the 
create table command. We decided that the customer should be 
able to create a table with a NULL terminator in the name if 
they want to, so we removed the check I mentioned above. Now, 
when a user attempts to insert into or drop a table with a NULL 
terminator in its name, the operation succeeds
