PARTITION BY clause should be available to create DPSI of Index on expression

IOE (Index on expression) can be DPSI, but when we specify PARTITION BY clause in the DDL to create partitioned IOE, it is failed by SQLCODE -628 in DB2 V11. We can create DPSI of IOE by the following DDL. CREATE INDEX TEMP.INDEX2 ON TEMP.TABLE2 (...

Status RREPL can be removed via normal start

In DB2 V10, we can do a START RREPL to certify that only a replication product (in our case, qrep) can update the table. It's good, as today we need a trigger in the target table to have this. The problem is that with a single start RW this restri...
