Enhance correlated subquery cardinality estimate with stat views

Peoplesoft application extensively uses correlated subqueries on EFFDT to check that EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(EFFDT) FROM ...). Cardinality estimations can be derived from PK, but this sometimes is not sufficient. We need to be able to get EFFDT estima...

DB2 Purescale with Secure Linux Boot on RHEL enabled: should ship already signed IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) kernel modules

Background: Right now instance creation with DB2 PureScale 11.5 (FP8) fails when it comes to the GPFS part if you have Secure Linux Boot in Red Hat Linux enabled. This issue is documented in GPFS manuals https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/STXKQY/gpfsclus...
