Technically multi member (aka partitioned) tables are supported in SQL.
Most people do not do it on IBM i because you have to buy DB2 Multisystem
to get this capability, even on a single system. And the cost of that is
your first born male child and a sports team of IBM's choosing.
If the number of rows does not approach the maximum number of rows per
partition then why not just add a column you would normally use as a
member name?
If you do approach system limits then you could do a CHGPF and alter the
maximum number of partitions (aka members).
