    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...

    Currently, when compiling a Cobol program if a comma is missing from the second to last field in a SELECT the DB2 pre-compiler will not give an error because it treats the second table element as a 'rename' this creates problems because no error i...

    In a DB2 for z/OS data-sharing group, allow customers to designate certain DB2 members as "query-only" subsystems. A "query-only" subsystem, or "query node" would process queries for analytics and business intelligence against the same databases a...

    Long Time to restart DB2 caused by Rollback in SYSIBM.SYSSEQUENCE

    As in PMR 94522,250,631:"Yes, it'd good to ask customer to submit a RFE so that this issue can be evaluated by the DB2 development architects. The current DB2 behavior was designed and implemented before SYSIBM.SYSSEQUENCE exists. Thank you very m...

    Request for a new zParm parameter, named for example IXCOPY to be set to YES or NO in order to choose how DB2 creates IX

    This RFE requests a new zParm parameter, named for example IXCOPY to be set to YES or NO in order to choose the default for indexes creation:- if IXCOPY = NO (default) DB2 will continue to work as now, that means that DB2 will create all indexes C...

    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...
