Temporal table support for column-organized tables

Currently, a column-organized table cannot be a temporal table because a PERIOD SYSTEM_TIME or PERIOD BUSINESS_TIME declaration is not supported in column-organized tables. This prohibits temporal data management with BLU. We request that column-o...

Excessive DBHEAP by BLU compression dictionaries

In current design, when SQL statement accesses a table, the compression and expansion dictionaries of that table will be read into DBHEAP and kept there until database deactivation. For column-based table, the memory consumption may up to 100MB. i...

BLU should tolerate Tools and Applications which are currently not BLU-aware

We currently employ with the introduction of db2 v10.5 BLU for our DWH. Our plan is to store almost all data in columns store. Just in exceptional cases tables should be stored row oriented. That's why we have set the registry variable DB2_WORKLOA...

We have a main DW database on DB2 for z/OS and a Datamart on DB2 for LUW. Some tables on both z/OS and LUW are populated using Cobol programs which are submitted from the mainframe. We want to convert the Datamart on DB2 LUW to BLU, but the Cobol ...
