Request to modify the default command for automatic statistics update to allow user customization

I have worked on case TS017430261. Please allow users to modify the default runstat syntax used for auto runstat at the database level or schema level, not the set profile per table.

Sparse Index - sub select in where condition

The Where possibility in the Sparse Index is great. To get more flexibility it would be great if you include the possibility to use the sub select in the where condition. This can replace fixed values. Thanks.

Add a field in MON_GET_TABLE function to check whether Restrict on drop is enabled or not for a table

Missing Restrict on Drop clause while creating table can be costly! (DB2LUW) DB2 LUW provides a clause called "Restrict on drop". This clause should be used while creating a table. With Alter statement it can be disabled too. Why missing this clau...

Allow parallel offline table reorg of range partitioned tables with non partitioned indexes (NPI)

Offline (classic) table reorgs might still be necessary in certain scenarios and can run for a very long time for huge tables (>24h). It is very hard to find a suitable window in a 24x7 System. Offline table reorgs - which have at least one non...

"delete cascade" does not work with "not enforced"

The option "not enforced" on a foreign key invalidates an already set "on delete cascade" option, although this is not visible anywhere within the data model or documentation. In my opinion, setting one of these options should prohibit the other o...

Support for "every" in the "alter table add partition" to add multiple partitions

The "create table" statement supports this syntax to create a table with multiple partitions: CREATE TABLE DOCUMENTS ( ID INTEGER, CONTENTS VARCHAR(10)) PARTITION BY RANGE (ID)(STARTING 1 ENDING 1000 EVERY 100) This will create a table with 10 par...

System Tables should come with STATISTIC PROFILE set from factory

We all know how important STATISTICS are, and more specially, how they are captured for each particular table ! Documentation says that DBA and application sholuld determine best options, based on usage.. but ibm is lacking to do the same for thei...

Increase the number of ALTER TABLE operations that can be performed online without placing the table in "reorg pending" state

There are a few operations that seem to place the table into "reorg pending" state immediately when it should be possible to treat them as REORG-recommended. For example, any ALTER COLUMN .. DROP COLUMN statement that doesn't affect indexes should...
