A Sort-Merge Join should be considered when joining on a SUBSTR expression

When tuning the following query, I saw that changing the "INNER JOIN" to a "FULL JOIN" caused it to perform many times better (which changed the join from a NLJ to a SMJ): SELECT ARCHIVE_STRT.LOCAL_TS AS LOCAL_TS_STRT, TIMESTAMPDIFF(2, CAST(ARCHIV...

Allow SYSTOOLS and SYSFUN schemas to be permitted separate from SYSCTRL

Multiple PROFILE tables like RLF

In the same datasharing group we have members with similar but not identical DDF workload. From an application server same AUTHID runs with 100 DBAT but in another member with 500 DBAT. If we had a chance to use multiple PROFILE tables as like RLF...

With RACF-exit, support auth cache refresh for RACF profiles with RACFVARS

Currently RACF ENF signals for the DB2 auth cache refresh are ignored if the profile contains a &RACFVAR class variable. This blocks the practical use of these profiles. In our case we have on one sysplex two different sets of DB2 subsystems(o...
