3.2.1.2 Use the new table space
Now you have a new table space that you can associate with tables, indexes, or other
objects that you create. This association specifies that the DB2 data server should use this
table space for physical storage of those objects. To associate any existing objects with
this new table space, you can right-click the object, then select Alter.
3.2.1.3 Drop a table space
You can drop a table space by selecting the table space from the object list editor.
However, be careful whenever you drop a table space, because any associated tables and
data is dropped, as well. To drop a table space, select the Table Spaces folder in the
Administration Explorer, right-click on the table space in object list editor on the right, and
select Drop. You can see an example of a drop action in Figure 3.10. To deploy the change
to the database, follow the deployment steps from Section 2.4.5 of Chapter 2.
