Maybe you can help:

Is there an easy way to disable transaction logging altogether in DB2?


I was populating DB2 tables and started getting:

SQL0964C  The transaction log for the database is full.  SQLSTATE=57011


Recreated the tables with the NOT LOGGED INITIALLY option:

CREATE TABLE TBL (
     ID    INT       	NOT NULL,
     TEXT  VARCHAR(220)  NOT NULL
) NOT LOGGED INITIALLY;


Code to populate data includes:

ALTER TABLE TBL ACTIVATE NOT LOGGED INITIALLY;
then
DELETE FROM TABLE;
then
repopulate with bulk INSERTs  (commits are done at small intervals)

But now I'm getting error:

  SQL1476N  The current transaction was rolled back because of error 
"-964".  SQLSTATE=40506

As far as I can tell it's another 'transaction log full' issue.



I saved a snapshot:

$ db2 get snapshot for all on database > logsnapshot.txt

It contains:

Log space available to the database (Bytes)= 1047782
Log space used by the database (Bytes)     = 103297818
Maximum secondary log space used (Bytes)   = 49038276
Maximum total log space used (Bytes)       = 103297988
Secondary logs allocated currently         = 12


Any advice will be appreciated.
