How to query the status of a table in db2?
In DB2, you can use the following SQL statement to query the status of a table:
SELECT TABNAME, STATUS
FROM SYSCAT.TABLES
WHERE TABSCHEMA = 'SchemaName'
AND TABNAME = 'TableName';
SchemaName refers to the name of the schema where the table is located, and TableName refers to the name of the table.
The table’s status can have a few possible values:
- N: In normal condition, it can be read and written.
- R: Read-only mode, only able to access data, unable to write.
- U: Unavailable state, unable to access the table.
- The table is currently in use by another process.
By checking the status of the table, you can see the current availability of the table.
