Informix

Allow MAX_PDQPRIORITY to be configurable per user.

We want to Informix to be able to use PDQ but we would not want 3rd party logins to be able to use PDQ and impact processing. The existing onconfig parmeter should be a default is it is not defined for the user.

Improve readahead performance statistic reporting

Since the improved readahead code was established, onstat -p and the associated SMI tables no longer report all readahead pages nor all usage of those pages so that it is impossible to monitor the efficiency of readahead and so be able to determin...

Allow "group commit" as other RDBMS

For high use OLTP systems, there can be a lot of I/O pressure on the logical log due to intense rate of logical log buffer flushing (most customer don't ant data loss so they use UNBUFFERED LOG). Setting BUFFERED LOG at session level would hardly ...

Add onstat -g vpcache detail to show breakdown of usage e.g. smx buffers

. When the vp-cache grows to gigabytes we need to see why it is growing. Currently shared memory dumps have to be sent to HCL for analysis. Propose 'onstat -g vpcache detail' to show what the vpcache on each cpu vp is being used for e.g. smx buffers.

Make adoption of forest-of-trees indices easier with existing large tables

Rebuilding an index as a FOT is not supported using "alter fragment on index init". This would be useful to avoid dropping and later re-adding primary keys and referencing foreign keys. Building a FOT index is not possible in parallel. Building a ...
