    User interface to provide correlation between Db2 packages and load module

    Pain Point: Housekeeping of Db2 packages (deletion of old, no longer needed application packages) is done subsequently to the houskeeping of the corresponding load modules on the loadmod. Today we use the contoken to correlate the load module with...

    Allow for an option in the syntax of a (compiled scalar) SQL function to use RELEASE(DEALLOCATE).

    Thread reuse and High performance DBATs are dependent on packages being bound with RELEASE(DEALLOCATE). But, there is no provision for the package associated with compiled SQL scalar functions to have RELEASE(DEALLOCATE) as an option. I have been ...

    Wrong result from reading Archive Enabled Tables with GET_ARCHVIE set to Y

    When reading Archive Enabled Tables we set a value for the global variable GET_ARCHIVE in order to get the appropriate result. If we set it to N only the base table is read. If we set it to Y we want both the base table and the archive table to be...

    Wrong result from reading System Temporal Tables with CURRENT TEMPORAL SYSTEM_TIME set to a non-NULL value

    When reading System Temporal Tables we set a value for the special register CURRENT TEMPORAL SYSTEM_TIME in order to get the appropriate result. If it is NULL only the base table is read. If it is not NULL we want both the base table and the histo...

    For Db2 z/OS, we need to have a way to find only the committed data present in tables for which we have set AFTER triggers in Db2 and also to have a unit of work ID to identify the commit scope for multiple changes that an occur as part of a single commit. This will enable us to have an efficient mechanism for integration with other applications and software such as IBM zDIH.

    It will enable to modernise our heritage applications and enable to expose our data with modern interface quickly.

    ALTER TABLESPACE DEFINE YES

    Currently, if a tablespace or index is created with DEFINE NO, the underlying VSAM cluster is not created until the first row is inserted, or until LOAD RESUME NO REPLACE is executed. This is used a lot, for example, in SAP or PeopleSoft systems. ...

    Provide a default PLAN_TABLE and DSN_STATEMENT_CACHE_TABLE

    If we use the CURRENT EXPLAIN MODE special register more widely, we have to create either a PLAN_TABLE and a DSN_STATEMENT_CACHE_TABLE or an ALIAS for each user. If we forget it, it doesn't work. So if there would be a default table for both, all ...

    Add metrics to distinguish between a real active DBAT and a "cached" DBAT if High Performance DBAT is used

    If High Performance DBAT is activated there is no flag in -DIS THREAD or in IFCIDs to distinguish between a real active DBAT (processing work) or a "chached" DBAT waiting for work. In a high volume environment as in our shop, it is critical to ide...
