externalize generic runstats information for XML columns in SYSCAT.COLUMNS

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently RUNSTATS does not store generic statistical results for XML columns in SYSCAT.COLUMNS - as it does for other data types -, like numnulls etc.
This information in SYSCAT.COLUMNS is used for administrative, automated tasks worldwide, but can not for XML.

    Juergen - Thank you for submitting this Idea.

    We assessed this request again internally and it is not something we are able to prioritize implementing in the near future - say next 24 months. For now, I am marking this as Not Under Consideration.

    We remain committed to delivering other new AI optimizer features outlined our roadmap for 2025. If there is broad interest for this feature from many customers in 18 months, it can be resubmitted. We will revisit this as part of our ongoing product planning.

    Your input matters to us. Thank you for shaping the future roadmap of Db2 with your ideas.

    Hi Ned,

    and thanks for your reply.

    Being sensitive for business sentences I have two questions:

    - what does "considering it" mean for the DB2 code ?
    - when will this future be ?

    Without any concrete content this is only warm air and there is nothing UBS could make use of, sorry.

    Regards, Jürgen
