Db2 for z/OS

Showing 777

Allow for an option in the syntax of a (compiled scalar) SQL function to use RELEASE(DEALLOCATE).

Thread reuse and High performance DBATs are dependent on packages being bound with RELEASE(DEALLOCATE). But, there is no provision for the package associated with compiled SQL scalar functions to have RELEASE(DEALLOCATE) as an option. I have been ...

Enhancement request to turn off DB2 security

User interface to provide correlation between Db2 packages and load module

Pain Point: Housekeeping of Db2 packages (deletion of old, no longer needed application packages) is done subsequently to the houskeeping of the corresponding load modules on the loadmod. Today we use the contoken to correlate the load module wi...

Rename Foreign Key

Up to now a RENAME FOREIGN KEY is only possible by dropping and re-creating it, thus asking for a CHECK UTILITY to be run.The enhancement of the ALTER to a RENAME would make those actions superfluous and would be much faster.

ALTER TABLESPACE DEFINE YES

Currently, if a tablespace or index is created with DEFINE NO, the underlying VSAM cluster is not created until the first row is inserted, or until LOAD RESUME NO REPLACE is executed. This is used a lot, for example, in SAP or PeopleSoft systems. ...
