Search more accessed tables in DB2

 It’s relatively simple and unfamiliar tool for the novices: db2top.

Using the option “T” (tables) and sorting the list (key “z”) using column 1.

The first position will be for the most accessed table.

If there is much difference between that and the rest during an appreciable period of normal use of the database, these tables would be candidates to improve their access or optimice their access to improve the overall performance,

 

Query to obtain Cache Hit Ratio on IBM DB2

The cache hit ratio is one of the indicators used for tuning tasks. It Measures the percentage of hits in memory, specifically in the bufferpools (each of them).

To get the cache hit ratio for each buffer pool configured to run this query:

SELECT SUBSTR(DB_NAME,1,8) AS DB_NAME, SUBSTR(BP_NAME,1,14) AS BP_NAME,
TOTAL_HIT_RATIO_PERCENT, DATA_HIT_RATIO_PERCENT,
INDEX_HIT_RATIO_PERCENT
FROM SYSIBMADM.BP_HITRATIO ORDER BY DBPARTITIONNUM

 

db2look – Create DDL for table or full schema

Db2look is an utility to extract the definition of database objects. It also allows some really interesting statistics to extract objects for export to other test environments / integration plans and get the same access to objects.

In this article we will see more frequent usefulness.

DDL extraction of the objects in my schema:

db2look -d MI_BBDD -a -e -x -o FICHERO_SALIDA.txt

Extraction of the DDL of the DEPT table:

db2look -d MI_BBDD -t DEPT -a -e -x -o FICHERO_SALIDA.txt

 

To include statistics to have to use the “-m” option.
