This should be pretty straight-forward: you can look in the TABLES System Catalogue and find references for the data (TBSPACE), Indexes (INDEX_TBSPACE) and Large Objects (LONG_TBSPACE). But DB2 throws a few curved balls here; partitioned tables (where the data, indexes and LOBs can be in multiple tablespaces), particular types of index that don’t seem to be in the catalogues at first glance, etc. Let’s see if we can put something together that shows the complete picture.
Overview
I’ve got a little database with all sorts of weird and wacky objects. It’s tiny, in terms of volume, but includes row and column-organized tables, range-partitioned tables, MQTs and a bunch of other stuff. Some tables have the full “INDEX IN … LONG IN ….” Tablespace definitions but don’t actually use them, some don’t have any or all the tablespace directives. I want to be able to see the full picture, so how do I go about that?
