How to mimic the use of "db2 -c-" (or "db2 +c") option from within DDL

Troubleshooting


Problem

The "db2 -c-" (or "db2 +c") action from the Command Line runs a command without auto-commit. This means the unit of work is not yet written to disk. But how do you mimic "db2 +c" from within DDL script?

Symptom

The db2 list command options shows the auto-commit is set to on.

You can have an example shell script like below....

db2 +c "CREATE TABLE TESTTAB(ID INT)"

db2 commit

But how can you do this from within a DDL script ?
