Efficient Bulk Deletes for Multi Dimensional Clustered Tables in DB2
Summary: DB2 UDB Viper 2's MDC Rollout enables online bulk deletes on multi-dimensional clustered tables via asynchronous secondary RID index updates. Shows order-of-magnitude improvements and documents design lessons for rollout with many secondary indexes. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
