Support mixed row/column environments without requiring CUR_COMMIT=ON

We have recently run into a problem when we enable Cur_commit because of the locking behavior expected by some applications (they expect blocking). Therefore, we have to disable CC, but then that app cannot use blu. We want to give our plant the a...

Asynchronous index rebuild at restart

When an index rebuild is required at the restart time, it can depend on the connection of the first user accessing the table. If the connection is killed, the index rebuild need to redone. It would be smarter to let the rebuild complete even if th...

Authentication Keys Obfuscation When CLP Echoes External Table Queries with Object Storage

event monitor tables (activity/actitivtystmt/activitymetrics) should support range partitioning

event monitor tables do not support range partitioning. In addition, you can not create expression based indexes on them. This makes them more difficult to manage and query. create event monitor wlm_activity_mon for activitieswrite to table activi...

Enhance Db2 Federation to support LOBs as remote procedure parameters

Enhance Db2 Federation to support pushdown of CSE to Oracle

There is a need to support the pushdown of CSEs (Common Subquery Expressions) as part of the federation to Oracle databases. This limitation has existed for quite a while and there has been an ongoing request for this functionality for years.

Add support in Db2 Federation for join and aggregation pushdown for MongoDB

Currently, the driver for use with MongoDB does not support the $lookup operator which would allow for the pushdown of the joining of two or more collections to the source DB. Adding support would allow for joining collections at the source and re...

Add support for a CLOB data type for MongoDB federation

Currently a long string or text field greater than 32k is truncated when fetching from MongoDB. This limits the data that can be retrieved and processed via Federation from MongoDB and other NoSQL data sources.
