Migration from SMS/Raw to AS

How to move the thousands DBs which use a combination of SMS (syscatspace) and RAW to full automatic storage. Some DBs are 100+TB so unload/load is not an option. Need a date for elimination of SMS/RAW support to determine our priotiy!

Improve poor query compilation performance due to long lock list traversal in DB2 10.1 and later

Beginning with DB2 LUW 10.1 DGTT-referencing DML started to take catalog locks and therefore we have to free them and potentially traverse long lock chain if the DML is a part of a long-running transaction potentially holding millions of locks. Th...
