Hi all,

Current version:
RedHat 4.4
DB2 32-bit v9.1.0.2 Fix Pack 2
Express Edition

Our database has two phases:

1) A bunch of inserts to 2 tables
2) Queries on these tables

There are usually on a few cases of the first phase.

Under v8.2 the first phase took 90 minutes, under v9.1
it takes 170 minutes. The queries take roughly the same time.
I tried using the configuration assistant and it made inserting
3 times as bad ( 6 hours).
Did an "alter table append on " only reduced the time for inserts by 10 minutes.

Any ideas on where to start?

thanks!

Hi,
do you have the same hardware? Can you post insert statement sintax? Can you post dbm cfg and db cfg.

Did you enable compression, by any chance?

dbm cfg:
