David,

Appendix A, Table 32 of the DB2 UDB SQL Reference Volume 1 at
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/info/vr82/pdf/en_US/db2s1e81.pdf

contains the DB2 database manager limitations.  They are mostly
architectural limitations which are quite generous.

Basically you are limited to the size of a filesystem that can be
configured.  According to the Linux for zSeries Device Drivers manual
262,144 disk devices can be attached, so that is hardly an issue.

I had an interesting meeting today concerning a possible project moving some 
existing DB/2 data on servers and z/os to linux DB/2 under good ole z/vm. 
Someone on the project was told that linux on db/2 had a 450Gigabyte limitation 
with the size of a database, or tables, or ...

This makes little or no sense to me ( 450Gigabyte isn't all that big really). 
Also there are 1,000 tables scattered around 100+ databases. Hey - I am not the 
architect here.

Is anyone out there running linux DB/2 with aggregate sized DBs exceeding 450G? 
Anyone aware of limits running DB/2 on linux under z/VM?

Thanks,
David
