I just installed db2, db2level gives the following

DB21085I Instance "tyler" uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL09070" with
level identifier "08010107".
Informational tokens are "DB2 v9.7.0.0", "s090521", "LINUXAMD6497", and Fix
Pack "0".
Product is installed at "/opt/ibm/db2/V9.7".

Everything is working fine except how long it takes to create a database. when I run the command 'db2 create database sample' it takes 10 minutes to complete. Anything I can do to reduce this time?? This is a development environment.

Is there some reason you did not run dbsampl program? It comes with a schema and data.

But I don't know why your create database statement took so long.

1. You have to defragment your hard drive
2. Stop another applications which used the hard drive

Lenny

I wasn't aware one could defrag a Linux hard drive, but I am not Linux expert. I suspect it is just a problem with the base level fixpack 0 code.
