What is DB2 HADR?

DB2® High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) uses database logs to replicate data from the primary database to the standby database. 

Non-logged operations are allowed on the primary database, but not replicated to the standby database. If you want non-logged operations, such as updates to the history file, to be reflected in the standby database, you must take extra steps to cause this to happen.
The following are examples of cases in which operations on the primary database are not replicated to the standby database:

  • Tables created with the NOT LOGGED INITIALLY option specified are not replicated. Attempts to access such tables after an HADR standby database takes over as the primary database will result in an error.
  • All logged LOB columns are replicated. Non-logged LOB columns are not replicated. However, the space for them will be allocated on the standby database using binary zeroes as the value for the column.
  • Updates to database configuration using the UPDATE DATABASE CONFIGURATION and UPDATE DATABASE MANAGER CONFIGURATION commands are not replicated.
  • Database configuration and database manager configuration parameters are not replicated.
  • For user-defined functions (UDFs), changes to objects external to the database (such as related objects and library files) are not replicated. They will need to be setup on the standby via other means.
  • The recovery history file (db2rhist.asc), and changes to it, are not automatically shipped from the primary database to the standby database.
 It replicates data in real time from a primary database to one or more standby databases. In case the primary database fails, a standby database takes over as the new primary.

Data Wrangling vs EDA

  Aspect Data Wrangling (Data Preprocessing) Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) Objective Prepare raw data for modeling by cleaning, transforming, and formatting it appropriately. Explore and understand the data to gain insights, identify patterns, and make decisions on data handling and modeling. Order Typically performed as a preliminary step before EDA. Usually conducted after data wrangling to further investigate data characteristics. Data Handling Focuses on data cleaning, filling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and scaling features. Involves data visualization, statistical analysis, and summary statistics to uncover patterns, relationships, and anomalies. Techniques Techniques include imputation, outlier detection, feature scaling, and one-hot encoding. Techniques include histograms, scatter plots, box plots, correlation matrices, and descriptive statistics. Data Transformation Involves structural changes to the dataset, such as feature engineering, data normaliz...

What is Tensor Parallelism and relationship between Buffer and GPU

  Tensor Parallelism in GPU Tensor parallelism is a technique used to distribute the computation of large tensor operations across multiple GPUs or multiple cores within a GPU .   It is an essential method for improving the performance and scalability of deep learning models, particularly when dealing with very large models that cannot fit into the memory of a single GPU. Key Concepts Tensor Operations : Tensors are multidimensional arrays used extensively in deep learning. Common tensor operations include matrix multiplication, convolution, and element-wise operations. Parallelism : Parallelism involves dividing a task into smaller sub-tasks that can be executed simultaneously. This approach leverages the parallel processing capabilities of GPUs to speed up computations. How Tensor Parallelism Works Splitting Tensors : The core idea of tensor parallelism is to split large tensors into smaller chunks that can be processed in parallel. Each chunk is assigned to a different GP...

What's replicated, what's not?

Logged operations are replicated. These include, but are not limited to: DDL DML Create/alter table space Create/alter storage group Create/alter buffer pool XML data. Logged LOBs Not logged operations are not replicated. These include, but are not limited to: Database configuration parameters (this allows primary and standby databases to be configured differently). "Not logged initially" tables Not logged LOBs UDF (User Defined Function) libraries. UDF DDL is replicated. But the libraries used by UDF (such as C or Java libraries)  are not replicated, because they are not stored in the database. Users must manually copy the libraries to the standby. Note: You can use database configuration parameter  BLOCKNONLOGGED  to block not logged operations on the primary.
