Create Accounting Data Lite record type

The standard DB2 Accounting record has become increasingly bloated over the years. All of the information contained in each record is useful, but much of it is not necessary for basic Accounting purposes. Because the record is so big, and so expen...

Selective Suppression of DB2 maintained System History

There are times when it is not desirable to create a new DB2 maintained system history row if the values in the columns of the base table have actually not changed. DB2 already suppresses the actual update of a non-temproal table if none of the co...
