DB2 PureScale to Support Oversubscription of Storage in IBM Flash System

The IBM Flash System (FS7300) does such as good job at real time data compression that I am achieving almost 5:1 compression on one of my environments (31TB Written = 6.4TB Physically consumed). So, while it has 80% of the storage allocated to IBM...

Q Capture/Db2 LUW: Replicate DROP COLUMN-operations

If the source table of an active subscription is altered by a DROP COLUMN operation, there is high risk of continuous data corruption on that table due to incorrect reading of Db2's transaction log entries from that time on. The current workaround...

UPDATE STATISTICS MEDIUM/HIGH can be used with an explain option. The explain file always shows a sort data calculation which then determines the number of table scans (passes) the database engine will undertake. These are calculated before any de...

Do not allocate MGM memory to UPDATE STATISTICS MEDIUM/HIGH with PDQ if index is used for sort

If an UPDATE STATISTICS MEDIUM/HIGH statement with PDQ is run, Informix will allocate memory for sorts from the memory grant manager (MGM). This happens regardless of whether there is any sorting to do. If a single indexed column is specified in t...

Avoid UPDATE STATISTICS [LOW] sampling failures due to data skew
