Sometimes, when I have added and index, I have had some surprises in the optimizer using that index when it should not. I would like a quick way to make the index "invisible" to the optimizer and make it not eligible for access paths until I speci...

Thread reuse and High performance DBATs are dependent on packages being bound with RELEASE(DEALLOCATE). But, there is no provision for the package associated with compiled SQL scalar functions to have RELEASE(DEALLOCATE) as an option. I have been ...

When reading Archive Enabled Tables we set a value for the global variable GET_ARCHIVE in order to get the appropriate result. If we set it to N only the base table is read. If we set it to Y we want both the base table and the archive table to be...

Enhance the DISPLAY LOG COMMAND to show if a specific active log dataset belonging to one member of a data sharing group is allocated to 1 or more other members in the data sharing group.

This command would be useful to allow DB2 SYSPROGS/DBAs to see if a specific active log dataset belonging to one member of a data sharing group is allocated to 1 or more other members in the data sharing group. This would allow the REMOVAL PENDING...

Allow the SQL ALTER statement to convert SYNONYMS into ALIASES.

We have over 800,000 synonyms across 100+ DB2 subsystems/data sharing groups to convert to aliases. In our production environments, the conversion of synonyms to aliases (DROP SYNONYM/CREATE ALIAS) is going to cause carnage because all of our prod...

DSNACCOX RRTDataSpaceRatio & TSQTY ZPARM

Our DBAs would like to use the RRTDataSpaceRatio attribute via DSNACCOX stored procedure to facilitate triggering REORGs for over allocated tablespaces. This is not currently possible due to the fact that REORGs are triggered erroneously for small...
