104 <strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Started</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>DB2</strong><br />

In the previous chapter, we covered basic database administrator tasks related to creating<br />

and managing database objects such as tables, and indexes. In this chapter, you will learn<br />

operational tasks that are critical to keeping the database up and running efficiently and to<br />

help prevent and recover from failures. These tasks become more and more critical as an<br />

application moves to a production environment, when database per<strong>for</strong>mance and<br />

availability become critical success factors <strong>for</strong> an application. This chapter outlines how<br />

some of these tasks can be per<strong>for</strong>med <strong>with</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong>.<br />

Note:<br />

You can learn more about related products in Chapter 11 to learn about advanced<br />

capabilities that are not included in <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Studio</strong>.<br />

3.2 Managing storage and memory <strong>for</strong> better per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

A <strong>DB2</strong> data server can use the file system or raw devices to store data. The data storage in<br />

a <strong>DB2</strong> data server is defined using table spaces. While you can create tables using a<br />

default table space, many database administrators need more control over how data is<br />

placed in storage and how to manage the characteristics of that storage and will want to<br />

explicitly place tables into specific table spaces, depending on their per<strong>for</strong>mance and<br />

access requirements.
