Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users using DB2 connector
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  An external table allows DB2 to treat a flat file as a database
  table. The use of external tables might improve read and write
  performance, compared to classic SELECT, INSERT or UPDATE
  statements.
  Current DB2 Connector functionality is limited to bulk load
  using external tables.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION
  Install patch JR61510
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• DB2 Connector introduces support for external tables in most
  read and write modes. Note that not all DB2 database products
  support the external tables feature.
  
  For detailed information on environment setup and connector
  configuration please refer to technote "DB2 connector support
  for external tables in read and write modes" available at:
