    Improve performance for deferred ALTERs on the same object

    Db2 supports 4096 partitions in one TS, we have only 2048 partitions. And we want to alter the keyrnages of all partitions. We recognized that the longer the deferred ALTER queue the slower the current ALTER. This is confirmed by development and i...

    Enhanced input record length support for standard utilities (DSNTEP2, etc.)

    Standard utilities like DSNTEP2 are foundational to z/OS operations, yet the 72-byte record limit for SQL input is increasingly incompatible with modern development practices, such as dynamic query generation. This constraint forces developers to ...

    Support for modifying the IMPLICITLY HIDDEN attribute via ALTER COLUMN

    Although adding columns via ALTER TABLE is an immediate operation, its instant impact on "SELECT *" queries and logical unload utilities such as Db2 High Performance Unload (HPU) makes production release coordination extremely difficult. To provid...

    Enable zEDC for Tempdatasets

    Actually no temporary Datasets are zEDC eligible, i suppose because there is no long term benefit in space reduction. Especially DB2 with LISTDEF (for example Reorg Tablespace LIST with SORTDEVT specification of very large Tablespaces) would benef...

    Use direct-row access for queries using the RID-function and multi-row fetch

    Suppose that you have a query like this: SELECT * FROM table A WHERE RID(A) = 21206417921 This query should use direct-row-access and should quickly determine a result. This is true if you do not use a cursor with multi-row-fetch. If you use a cur...

    We need a way to determine who/what/when changed something on the profile tables. DSN_PROFILE_TABLE DSN_PROFILE_ATTRIBUTES Current tables have timestamp but it's static. Would be nice to have row change timestamp added so we have both insert and u...
