<div><p>The server provides several mechanisms to reduce or eliminate damage
caused by disk errors.</p>
<div class="section"><p>For example, mirroring, checksums, and RAID disks
can all reduce the possibility of disk problems. The <span class="keyword">DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB for iSeries™</span> functions
also have a certain amount of tolerance to damage caused by disk errors or
system errors.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>A DROP operation always succeeds, regardless of the damage. This
ensures that should damage occur, at least the table, view, SQL package, index,
procedure, function, or distinct type can be deleted and restored or created
again.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>In the event that a disk error has damaged a small portion of
the rows in a table, the <span class="keyword">DB2 UDB for iSeries</span> database
manager allows you to read rows still accessible.</p>
