Db2 for z/OS

    Issue an appropriate message instead of a dump in case of 00E20015 occurrence

    A clear DSN... message indicating the problem ASCB is more helpful than a dump. The asid (in R2) could be already another ASCB, so this is ambiguous. The dump could be supressed in my opinion. We have such a lot of cases in which we are forced to ...

    Allow ALTER TABLE xxx COLUMN yyy SET NOT NULL

    The ability to change nearly everything about a column is really cool in Db2. Sadly, the one thing that you cannot easily change is the NULLability of any given column. This is definitely a requirement all over the place and currently can only be ...

    If Db2 boosts a thread, it should have preference over other boost activities (like zIIP boost)

    We had the situation that some threads (DDF threads) hold a latch and this latch is required also for Db2 system tasks. The Db2 boost does not help in this situation because we use zIIP boost during IPL. So from a WLM perspective higher prioritize...

    "smooth" way to delete an index by mark the index deprecated before drop

    We would like to have an option to drop an index in a "smooth" way. package invalidation Idea is, that an index could be marked as "deprecated". This should have the effect, that this index is no longer chosen during BIND/REBIND for use in new c...

    Deferred ALTERs can be materialized on a subset of partitions

    We have a 2048 partitioned Tablespace and need to ALTER the keyranges. Afterwards a REORG on the complete object is needed. We want a piecemeal tactic for the REORG: All ALTERs are in SYSPENDINGDDL, and a REORG on partition level can materialize a...

    Db2 start command message output and return code

    If a Db2 database is in RO mode at database level and you issue a -STA DB(DBName) SP(TSName) ACCESS(RW) command via batch, it outputs "DSNTDDIS 'START DATABASE' NORMAL COMPLETION" which is misleading because the table still cannot be loaded therea...
