To restore deleted table data in db2, you can use one of the following methods:

  1. To utilize transaction rollback: If a deletion operation is executed within a transaction, the ROLLBACK command can be used to roll back the transaction and restore the data.
ROLLBACK;
  1. Backup and Restore: If transaction rollback is unavailable or not applicable, you can try utilizing the backup and restore feature of db2. If there are backup files available, you can use the RESTORE command to restore the data.
RESTORE DATABASE <database_name> FROM <backup_path> TAKEN AT <timestamp>;
  1. By using log files, if there is neither a transaction rollback nor backup file available, you can try using DB2 log files to restore data. The log files can be applied to the database to restore deleted data.
ROLLFORWARD DATABASE <database_name> TO <timestamp> AND STOP;

It is important to note that all of the above methods should be executed immediately after deleting data, otherwise the data may not be fully recoverable. Furthermore, it is recommended to first backup the current database before performing any restoration operations to prevent data loss.
