DB2 for z/OS Statistics Interval allow at 1 second

Create a new BiF to do a real TIMESTAMPDIFF

The current scalar function TIMESTAMPDIFF is great if the difference is not over one month, then it starts guessing at how many days are involved. If you want to know the number of seconds between two timestamps it gives variously bad degrees of e...

Add new Status for stopping Databases that will be Dropped or decomissioned

When you work for several accounts it's not easy to know whether a DB or TS has been stopped on purpouse or just due to some previous error. I think that some new status would be great, some Advisory STOP, something that doesn't allow people to us...

Meter "dirty" pages written to DB2 table spaces (disk) from CF or local buffer pools

DB2 uses 300 tasks (DB2 writers - it could be more now with later DB2 releases) to write modified (aka, "dirty") pages to the DB2 table spaces (either permanent tables or DB2 work files). From a DB2 perspective this is "efficient" but from a resou...
