    Please add a built-in function to reverse a string

    Currently to reverse a string, we have to create a udf. The syntax for a simple one was easily available on the SQLTips4Db2 blog .... which IBM has removed. I think Db2 on z has this, and some other variants of SQL out there include it. This is th...

    Please add a built-in function for pi

    Currently there is no built-in function for pi. It can be calculated using math on trigonometric functions, but this is mildly annoying. Pi is frequently used when working with different random variate distributions and other functions that are in...

    Lock access plan for a query. Prevent the optimizer from changing a plan, once a "good" plan has been determined.

    We see cases where a large query runs fine, and something changes the stats, which causes the optimizer to choose a really bad plan. We would like to be able to lock an individual query, and tell the optimizer: "Just use this plan".

    Allow additional Filters on Applications and Instances pages

    We have a very large number of applications (>1,500) and it is only possible to search by application name. It would be very beneficial if you could search/filter on other criteria such as Status (top priority), Team and Db2 system. We often wa...

    Use IDMS available JDBC driver to allow QMF connect and access/update data in IDMS using SQL through SQL server feature of IDMS (v19)

    Using IDMS JDBC driver and IDMS SQL server feature (instead of QMF data services) to access IDMS data has the following advantages: 1- Much easier and straight forward setup. 2- No additional components (QMF data services) are required to run on z...
