Ruiming Zhou commented on SENTRY-260:
-------------------------------------

Jarek,

I refresh the patch and it remains about same like the last patch.  although it sounds appealing to make the db2 script smart enough to not relying on the target database, we think it might not be an issue in practice:

1. First of all, DB2 administrator usually pick a bigger pagesize such as 32K rather picking a default pagesize 8K in production. 
2. If it is not case 1, DB2 administrator can create a another tablespace using bigger pagesize and move the sentry tables to the feasible table space.

> Currently Sentry supports derby, mysql, oracle, postgres to back its Metastore.  We like to have DB2 database to be supported.
