Creating a Test Environment

You can create a test environment for your partitioned environment applications with DB2 Enterprise Edition, because DB2 Enterprise Edition enforces partitioning key restrictions like DB2 Enterprise - Extended Edition.

1. Create a model of your database design with DB2 Enterprise Edition.
2. Create sample tables with the PARTITIONING KEY clause that you will use to distribute your data across partitions in the production environment.
3. Develop and run your applications against the test database.

DB2 Enterprise Edition enforces the partitioning key constraints consistent with DB2 Enterprise - Extended Edition and provides a useful test environment for your applications.
