Workspace Db2

Db2 partitioned table, set range of partitions to read only or read write mode

Table data is partitioned as specified in the PARTITION BY clause of the CREATE TABLE statement.
At this moment if we create partitioned table, we can only set whole table to read only access using SET INTEGRITY FOR table OFF READ ACCESS
or let it be read-write (default) access mode.
Using ALTER TABLE or ALTER TABLESPACE there are no options to achieve this.

We would like to have possibily to set read-only access to selected partitions only and to let others be read-write.
This can be done on Db2 for z/OS, but not on Db2 (for LUW).

For example, this is useful if you need to unload data from very large table and keep it for permanent storage and to be sure that data is not changed any more.
