create table space

[xixi]

i am using db2 udb v8.1 for windows 64 bit, based on the doc, i can
create DMS to achieve high performance, to add the container, i can do
file or device, which is preferable?

after i create a DMS table space on raw device, i want to alter it by
altering the container size ( from 4000 mb to 5000 mb), but get bad
container error? why is that?

If you're going to use DMS for performance reasons, go with raw. For
more info on raw versus cooked, see:

Basically, if you use DMS with files, you're getting the worst of both
worlds: the performance of the file system with the administrative
overhead of DMS table spaces.

hi,

my admin told me he has converted the physical device to a volume, so
if i create a DMS using raw device , then if i want to backup and
restore in other windows platform machine without volume drive, will
the restore still works? thanks

You can use a redirected restore to restore on another machine with
different container paths. As long as you supply some suitably large
DMS containers, that could mean a different volumes, or even a DMS file.

Hope that helps.
