What is FREEPAGE and PCTFREE in TABLESPACE creation?

Answer Posted / abhishek kale

PCTFREE indicates to DB2 what percentage of each page in
the table space or index to leave free when either loading
or reorganizing the data. DB2 will then use that free space
when inserting new rows and index entries.

FREEPAGE indicates to DB2 how often to leave a full page of
free space when either loading or reorganizing the data.
For example, if you specify FREEPAGE 5, DB2 will allocate a
page of free space after filling five pages with data.
