Remove EACCES errors when restoring into different instance on same machine

When restoring a database without automatic storage with redirected restore on a machine where the former tablespace paths exist (but are owned by another UID) the redirected restore generates multiple "EACCES (13) PERMISSION DENIED ERRORS" within...

"delete cascade" does not work with "not enforced"

The option "not enforced" on a foreign key invalidates an already set "on delete cascade" option, although this is not visible anywhere within the data model or documentation. In my opinion, setting one of these options should prohibit the other o...

System maintained MQTs for BLU MPP

We use DB2 v10.5 DPF for a Warehouse Environment (40TB Data, ~9000 Users, 40 Tsd. Reports per day). We want to migrate the database to DB2 v11.1.1.1 BLU MPP with all tables column oriented. In this case we have checked the functionality for system...

Perform rebuild of each index (for a table) in its own transaction

In the current design, all the index rebuilds for a table are performed within the same transaction (as the action that triggered them). If the transaction is interrupted (e.g. user interrupt or dropped session), then the entire transaction is rol...

Add ALTER COLUMN options to modify numeric column length and allow rename column names for ((bi)temporal) column organized tables

Db2’s capabilities to perform schema changes on any form of ((bi)temporal) column organized tables lacks behind it’s row organized counterparts. This prevents effective database schema evolution and therefore limits the use of column organized tab...

support "fixed record length" for load/import with UTF8

Load and import do not support "fixed record length" for MBCS.The field offsets have to be specified in bytes only.There is no possibility to let the data movement tools "think in letters, instead of bytes".

Reorg pending status should be in a table like SYSCAT.TABLES

The column that indicates if a table is in reorg-peding is in a table that is not in the schame SYSCAT. This value should be in a table in SYSCAT, because this schema is the catalog, and it is almost standard across versions, and it is a set of vi...
