Enhancement of compression algorithm used by DB2

We have noticed that the compression ratio (PAGESAVE) for first partition of a Partitioned TS is 0% after running an IBM Reorg Utility. The reason why PAGESAVE/compression ratio for that first Partition is 0% is caused because many initial rows in...

Drop Databases Created by Implicit Mapping Tables
