Temporal Base Table SQLOUT INSERTS have generate always columns as part of the insert

The timestamp columns supporting temporal should not be part of the INSERT. Also anytime a generate always column is excluded as it should have been in this run, columns must be added to the INSERT statement.

    FYI to anyone - remember UNDO has it's issues as stated in the manual. LAT as stated in the manual is not a recovery tool. But if you must use UNDO, use SET SYSIBMADM.REPLICATION_OVERRIDE = 'Y'; in ADBTEP2 or DSNTEP2.

    We just ran into the same situation for a production recovery following a bad spufi update ad-hoc that ran on a temporal table. we needed to recover the updates. although producing the Undo SQL is how we thought we could resolve quickly, we found out that we would need to modify the thousands of statements to remove the TRANSI_ID_D. We had to try to find a synch point to recovery to, since the user made no backup prior to their update.

    We have used the undo several times in the past and it saved us big time. but this time it was useless. Temporal Tables are REQUIRED by IBM to contain this TRANS_ID_D generated always timestamp column. So although IBM is treating this AHA as an enhancement, We see this as a DEFECT! All IBM tools should support all types of DB2 objects that IBM introduces. Temporal has been around for a while and has since matured. Why wasn't log analyzer tested for support of temporal tables for undo/redo sql. they would have quickly found out that IT DOES NOT WORK!. bottom line, the tools should support all DB2 objects, no different than how it supports LOB , XML, etc. it should support TEMPORAL tables. It's not like we had an option on whether or not to create this GENERATED ALWAYS TIMESTAMP for these types of tables, it is a REQUIREMENT.


    I am hoping this gets resolved sooner than later. THIS IS A DEFECT!!!!

    This issue is not restricted to temporal base tables. It also happens to with generated UNDO SQL by log analyzer for any table with generated always columns.

    The issue is described without a solution. I assume the "idea" for log analyzer is to have a parameter to not generate these columns in the insert in the generated sql. correct?
