    Archiving Older Data

    We have an environment where we have two databases with identical
    structures. In practice we like to keep the data on one of them small
    for performance reasons. We have been identifying records over a
    certain age, extracting the data, inserting it into the secondary
    database and deleting it from the primary database. This has worked
    for us in the past through a custom program that reads the system
    catalogs, determines the FK relationships and builds queries to
    traverse the relationship tree to extract all related records from
    associated tables.

    Our program is showing its age and not meeting the performance levels
    we need. Before we commit resources to revamp it, I wanted to see if
    anyone knew of any commercial utilities, or other solutions, that
    would aid our situation. Any input would be appreciated. (8.2 FP14,
    AIX 5.3)

    IBM has a product that does that called DB2 Data Archive Expert for
    Multiplatforms.

      take a look at Jailer, an open-source and java-based data export tool:
