Abstract
Large Objects (LOBs) play a crucial role in modern database applications, yet their behavior and impact on performance in Db2 LUW are often misunderstood. This session will provide an in-depth exploration of LOB architecture, space management strategies, logging implications, and operational best practices.
We will cover key considerations for efficiently handling LOBs, including performance tuning, partitioning strategies, table space considerations, and the impact of reorganization (REORG) on LOB data. Additionally, we’ll discuss replication and recovery scenarios to ensure data integrity and availability.
Whether you’re a database administrator, developer, or architect, this session will equip you with practical insights to optimize LOB handling, avoid common pitfalls, and maximize the efficiency of your Db2 LUW environment.
