Use Segmented or Universal Table Spaces

DB2 is eliminating simple tablespaces support. Although you can create them in DB2 V7 and DB2 V8, they cannot be created in DB2 9 (although you can still use previously created simple tablespaces). Whatever version you are using, we recommend that you use a segmented table space instead of a simple tablespace.
