You don't partition a database but rather an instance. Partitioning an instance is done with the START DATABASE MANAGER command (see syntax in the DB2 manuals). Once you have your partitions set up, you manage the partition groups using the CREATE/ALTER PARTITION GROUP statements.

Or are you by any chance referring to range-partitioned tables?
