    Db2: V13 Access Path regression: Tablespace scan regresses to nonmatching index scan. After turning this in as a problem, we were told that it was working as designed. Our suggestion is that the design is flawed.

    We feel the design is flawed and strongly feel this is a bug. The only time a non-matching index scan should be considered versus the tablespace scan is when it can at least filter the result somewhat. There are ZERO columns in the index that matc...

    Set object status to prohibit data access

    Before we drop a Db2 table we need to make sure that noone use the object in any way. We solve this now by stopping the tablespace and keeping it stopped for about six months. This means that noone can access the data and noone can run a utility a...

    DSN1COPY to support LOB INLINE COPY as input

    More than 80% of our data consist of LOB data. In case of drop recovery we depend on utilities such as DSN1COPY. Without this feature provided DSN1COPY cannot be used for drop recovery when we have to use a LOB INLINE COPY as input.

    Have new authority for REFRESH of MQT that does not require high privilege levels

    We historically have an application batch userid that has DBADM authority. We are limiting all access to this ID to the minimally required authority it requires such as load, imagecopy and runstats at the DB level. When we started converting our t...

    Hostfactory round up the number of on-demand slots to 1 when it falls between 0 and 1

    When choosing percentOnDemand=10%, quite often we get 0 slot calculated on the ondemand server therefore there is no slot on the server and leave the task pending forever. We'd like to suggest that hostfactory round up the number of on-demand slot...

    Let Db2 REST return alternative and more useful JSON keys

    Db2 REST today return JSON keys that are hard to consume if you for example use JSON Binding layer (aka JSON-B). The reason behind that is that the JSON keys returned don't always follow the common naming standards that require you to use lowerCam...

    Display or messages to monitoring the available private storage

    We think it would be very useful to have messages or displays to monitor the available private storage (below the line, above the line and above the bar). In other products have message or displays to monitor the private storage: - In MQ we have m...

    Usability improvement of IGNORE OPTION of DB2 LOAD

    DBAs can decide to tolerate and ignore certain categories of errors and violations in LOAD processing by specifying the IGNORE keyword . Nevertheless, the SYSOUT of the LOAD with the IGNORE keyword specified, provides only the number of records ig...

    DB2 profile and attributes tables have related history tables, SYSIBM.DSN_PROFILE_HISTORY and SYSIBM.DSN_PROFILE_ATTRIBUTES_HISTORY. These history tables contain information regarding enabled profiles and attributes that were processed by a -START...

    Build Compression Dictionary on Insert, if triggered by update or delete

    There is already code that a compression dictionary is built, if rows are inserted into an empty partition. A compression dictionary is however not created if these inserts are triggered by update-statements, e.g. if you update on of the partition...
