Add ability to invalidate single plan without flushing entire package cache

I would like the ability to invalidate/flush access plans and performance data for a specific statement from the package cache. It seems like the EXECUTABLE_ID would allow us to uniquely identify an access plan for this purpose. Flushing the entir...

Auto save

The ability to auto save would be a small enhancement with big impact, kind of like the ability to zoom the canvas. Auto save is something I am asked about at almost every workshop and would be a great feature.

Capture cost and path information for New SQL to help DBAs determine if there might be an access problem

There is a new release of application code. Currently SQL/PA does a COMPARE of current and previous access paths. There is a hole for NEW SQL that takes a bad access path. DBAs need to know if this is occurring.

If 0 is given as first parameter, the bkill command ignores other options and terminates ALL jobs of the user. advise a warning if the command "bkill 0 -q gui" is used instead of the correct command "bkill -q gui 0". If tried to run, bjobs <jobid> -u <user>. The error "-u: Illegal job ID" displays. Something of this stature could be very helpful for users who do not intend to kill all their jobs.

Would it also be possible to provide documentation on what happens if the parameters are used wrong when using using "jobid 0"? Thank you.

Detect corrupted pointers in the free chain and avoid referencing them

We are currently using a USERMOD which detects corrupted pointers in the free chain before referencing them and, if detected, automatically truncates the free chain to avoid referencing bad addresses. If this can be generalized and implemented wit...

Parameter to suppress the generate of Grant Statements in Db2 Cloning Tool

When we clone tablespaces from a production to a test Db2 system we would like to suppress all authorizations on the target objects (e.g. tables, views), because users don't possess the same privileges in these two environments. At this time cloni...

Shutdown for InformixHQ

InformixHQ-Server lacks a possibility for shutdown. The admin has to issue a kill command from the command line with the proper (root) access. This is not at all satisfying. InformixHQ-agents can be stopped by pressing a button - as long as th...
