COPY NO Indexes to be recorded in SYSLGRNX

It would be very helpful if ALL indexes are recorded in SYSLGRNX which will then open the possibility for a BACKOUT YES recovery for all TS+IX and avoid a potentially costly and long REBUILD INDEX for some very large tables and when backing out a ...

Db2: V13 Access Path regression: Tablespace scan regresses to nonmatching index scan. After turning this in as a problem, we were told that it was working as designed. Our suggestion is that the design is flawed.

We feel the design is flawed and strongly feel this is a bug. The only time a non-matching index scan should be considered versus the tablespace scan is when it can at least filter the result somewhat. There are ZERO columns in the index that matc...

Db2 Developer Extension - Native Stored Procedure (NSP) edit in place, run and deploy from catalog listing

Provide one Db2 message to indicate that GRECP and LPL recovery is complete across a Db2 data sharing group.

We use automation to drive our disaster recovery processes to reduce the recovery time and remove human interaction. We have been running into issues with starting software products that require access to Db2 before it has completed GRECP and LPL ...
