Detecting In-Place ALTER TABLE
Posted in 2000
Topics: Versions, Editions & End-of-Life
We have been having some trouble with IDS 7.3 that may be related to a problem with the in-place alter table algorithm. I would like to perform dummy updates on all of my tables to get every page on the current version. Is there a simple way to query the system catalog or the sysmaster database to determine which tables have pending alterations? Thanks, Jeff
Check out oncheck -pt. <table>
It should have the number of versions currently within the table. I
don't think that this is available via sysmaster.

Well, yeah, but I have to run that individually for
every table (over 100 in this database). I was looking
for a shortcut that could tell me which tables I need
to look at.
