    Support the arrow keys in Db2 CLP on Linux

    The Db2 CLP, since decades, does not handle arrow keys. This makes it hard to quickly go back to previous commands and edit statements. It's a nuisance to most Db2 users. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62298637/using-arrow-keys-within-db2...

    LOAD should be compatible with a snapshot backup

    LOAD is not compatible when an integrated snapshot backup (or when the backup is issued with the USE SNAPSHOT option) is being performed. During an integrated snapshot backup, in addition to the database being put into set write suspend state, it ...

    INPLACE REORG should always be interruptible

    Under certain circumstances it is not possible to stop/pause or force an INPLACE REORG that waits for a lock (TS019866410). Because the INPLACE REORG does not respect lock timeouts, it hangs in "lock wait" until the lock holding session releases t...

    Option to exclude temporary tablespaces from Db2 Snapshot Backup

    It would be advantageous, if we could exclude temporary tablespaces from the Db2 Snapshot Backup (using IBM Storage Protect Snapshot)Because the temporary tablespaces have to be included its corresponding filesystems need to have “Mirror write con...

    HPU writes tables locally. If HPU could write direct to S3 locations, it would eliminate the need to move files after creation.

    If HPU had a feature to write data directly to S3 buckets, it would make the process for moving data to cloud faster & easier. While initial unloads may be constrained by available bandwidth, the process of writing to S3 immediately starts the...

    Unload LOCK YES Drain Writers instead of executing LOCK TABLE

    When executing HPU in Native MODE with parameters ULLOCK = YES, ULLOCKTE = LOCK and ULLOCKMO = NATIVE_ONLY HPU executes a EXEC SQL LOCK TABLE. Sometimes table being locked is in a TS whose a IX TS lock was left in DB2 due to this table be used in ...

    Read and Write partitions in parallel with only one OUTDDN dataset

    Recently, during some tests, we observed that using a single dataset for each part in the OUTDDN with &PART drastically improves the elapsed time of the HPU job (with benefits for data availability, reduced contention probability, etc.). Howev...

    Fixed column List for a Select * based on a timestamp

    It can be very useful if we could input a timestamp in the Unload cards which results in any column that were added to the table post the timestamp to be excluded from the column list to be unloaded. This will give a nice mechanism so that a SELEC...
