    Add a STOP DB2 mode that cancels connected threads, but not internal processes.

    We have struggled with getting a "clean" shutdown of Db2 for years. If we try to use STOP DB2 MODE(QUIESCE), Db2 will not stop. Persistent threads from STCs such as CICS regions, WAS Z servants, and ARS CMOD servers do not "end", so they never all...

    extend MERGE syntax to allow Common Table Expressions (CTE)

    The MERGE SQL statement is a new favourite SQL statement. But I also like to use Common Table Expressions (CTE). CTE can be used in other type of SQL (mostly SELECT) but CTE is not allowed with MERGE What is my idea? Allow MERGE to use CTE. I...

    Object should go into advisory reorg when PCTFREE, PCTFREE for update, FREEPAGE is altered instead of immediate alter to have the REORG pick it up and ensure it is done. Having it immediate is just a catalog update and it might be missed.

    When Altering PCTFREE, PCTFREE for UPDATE or FREEPAGE, the DB2 catalog is updated and the DBA must ensure a reorg is run to materialize the change. A process that can be missed. I would like to see this as a pending change and have the reorg pick ...

    DB2 should provide a built-in stored procedure for sending emails

    Other DBRMs including DB2 LUW provide built-in options to send an email by calling a stored procedure. DB2 for zOS doesn't support that.

    Add support for CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW syntax

    I've seen that Db2 LUW and other types of databases support the syntax to do CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW. This can be useful as you don't have to have a separate statement to drop a view before rerunning a create statement. I had a new DB2 DBA on our t...

    egosh consumer view cli command should display reclaim grace period and "rebalance after change" values

    Why is it useful ? It would be useful when you have high number of consumers using many different reclamation timeout (reclaim grace period) values and you would want to have a comparison to other cluster or just to have a data/comparison view of ...

    We have a general purpose StoredProcedure (STPX1) that is called by other native StoredProcedures (STPA1, STPA2, STPA3, etc) that have CALL statements to STPX1, If I need DROP the STP STPX1 (for recreate later) I receive the error -478 for depende...

    Adding userid and timestamp info in Database exception table (DBET)

    When an objects goes to a pending status or STOP status due to unplanned / unexpected activity, it is difficult to identify who /when the object went to that restrictive status.Already the DBET will be storing information when an object goes to ST...

    Provide option to control the bypassing of the authorization checking for mapping objects when dbname is used in REORG job

    Implicit mapping objects are seen as transient as they get created and dropped within the duration of the REORG. Therefore REORG logic was enhanced to bypass the authorization checking for it (PI08339). These objects might be transient and interna...
