What is tablespace pool in SAP BC-DB-DB6 - DB2 Universal Database for UNIX / NT?

SAP Term: tablespace pool

• Component: BC-DB-DB6

• Component Name: DB2 Universal Database for UNIX / NT

• Description: Grouping of tablespaces that allows the system to assign a table flexibly to one of the tablespaces in the grouping, thus achieving a more evenly balanced distribution of tables across tablespaces. Tablespace pools allow you to assign tables to a pool of tablespaces rather than one single tablespace. When you assign a table to a tablespace pool, the application server ABAP creates the table in one of the tablespaces of the tablespace pool using a distribution algorithm based on the table name. The distribution algorithm is aimed at an even distribution of tables.

• Key Concepts: 
  A tablespace pool is a logical grouping of tablespaces in SAP systems running on DB2 Universal Database for UNIX/NT. It is used to manage the physical storage of data in the database. Tablespaces are divided into pages, and each page contains a certain amount of data. The tablespace pool allows for the efficient management of these pages, as it allows for the allocation and deallocation of pages to and from tablespaces as needed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The tablespace pool is used to manage the physical storage of data in the database. It allows for the efficient allocation and deallocation of pages to and from tablespaces as needed.

  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a tablespace pool, it is important to consider the size of the pool and how many tablespaces it will contain. This will help ensure that there is enough space for all of the data that needs to be stored in the database. Additionally, it is important to monitor the usage of the pool regularly to ensure that it is not becoming over-utilized or under-utilized.
