Database alias

[Marco Franchini]

I would like to know if it's possible to create alias of a database library, not single tables or views but an entire db.
Someone can help me ?
Thanks

CREATE ALIAS is only supported for tables and views.

yes I know,
but I am interested in knowing if, with some workaround, I can use a library also with another name

When creating a new schema it is possible to define a long (SQL) name and a short (system) name for the schema ... so you may have 2 names.
... but there is no RENAME for an existing schema.

I know the possibility to create long name ...
I'm interested if exist something like
db2 catalog database db1 as db2
