Session title: Db2 Logging Basics & Exploitation Beyond Recovery
Session abstract: Explore why the LOG is one of the crucial components of Db2. Without the log there would be no way to recover corrupted objects, no way to “recover” failed SQL (delete, insert and update) among other tasks.
This presentation will cover some log basics and what the log holds in order to backout work as well as what’s in and NOT in the log. Finally, once you have an understanding of what’s in the log, we will go over some use cases how you can exploit the log beyond what it is really intended for.
