Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Post your ideas
Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
Post an idea
Upvote ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The product management team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

agree with the consensus; if controlled with a registry variable this would be a good idea. I don't think it should be default behaviour for CREATE TABLE
A registry variable (or DSNZPARM for Db2 z/OS) that would implement this is a good idea. The default behavior should remain unchanged, but having the system parameter would be a nice option for those shops choosing to implement RESTRICT ON DROP as a standard. Of course, removing RESTRICT ON DROP to actually drop the table needs to be as simple as today (where it is just a DDL statement) without having to change a system parameter to actually do a drop.
this will be very good feature to include at the DB2 registry level
It would be helpful for database designers if the 'Restrict on Drop' can be activated through a db2 registry variable
I don't agree with changing the default to enable 'Restrict on Drop'.
An optional instance level registry variable would be acceptable.
Innovative feature of DB2 that needs to be activated the registry variable :)
Changing the default behavior will generate too many failures with previously written scripts.
However, activating it trough a db2 registry variable may be an acceptable option.
