Anyone know if there is a way to configure a JDBC connection, to a DB2 400
database, so that it will allow a table to be altered while it is still in
use?

We've got a multi-user application that is trying to alter a table's
structure while other threads are running selects on it.  When this happens
we are getting SQL0913 errors.

Other databases, MS SQL & the like, allow this.  Can DB2 400 be configured
to do this?

Thanks!
