Getting Started with IBM Data Studio for DB2

88 Getting Started with IBM Data Studio for DB2
Figure 2.21 – Running the commands from the Review and Deploy window
The Save data path defines the location where Data Studio will store any backup files
that are needed to preserve the contents of the database tables. When you enable the
Save data option, Data Studio will create backup files for any dropped tables and
changes that require you to drop and recreate a table.
To control how Data Studio maps the columns of an existing table to the columns of
the changed table, you click the Column Mapping button. If you add and remove
columns from a table, you should review how Data Studio plans to map the columns.
The Advanced Options window specifies which supporting commands Data Studio
should generate with the commands that change the objects. For example, if you do
not want Data Studio to generate RUNSTATS commands for changed tables, you can
disable the Generate RUNSTATS commands option in the advanced options.
You could also edit the commands in the SQL and XQuery editor by clicking the Edit
button. Or you could schedule the changes for a future time by clicking Schedule.
2. Deploy your changes by clicking Run.
The progress of the deployment commands is shown in the SQL Results window, as
shown in Figure 2.22. When you deploy the commands to the database, the planned
changes bar no longer opens in the object list editor because your local objects match the
objects in the database. You can review past change plans by selecting the Change Plans
folder in the Administration Explorer.
