In a partitioned database environment, the database is made up
of different database partitions.
A relational database presents data as a collection of tables (each table consisting of data logically arranged in columns and rows).
In addition to data, each database includes a set of system catalog tables, which describe the logical and physical structure of the data; a configuration file, which contains the parameter values associated with the database; and a recovery log, which logs ongoing transactions and transactions that can be archived.
In DB2, a unique database name must be specified when a database is created.
