UPDATE STATISTICS MEDIUM/HIGH with PDQ should favour use of indices for sort when more than one column is specified

Currently (in my testing) any UPDATE STATISTICS MEDIUM/HIGH statement with PDQ specifying more than one column will not use indices for sort and will instead scan the table, write to temporary files and sort. This is true even when all columns spe...

We historically have an application batch userid that has DBADM authority. We are limiting all access to this ID to the minimally required authority it requires such as load, imagecopy and runstats at the DB level. When we started converting our t...

Support for Drill Through to URL/CA Reports

Planning Analytics needs to support more drill through options outside of Turbo Integrator. For example users should be able to drill through to a report rendered in Cognos Analytics. This could be accomplished by supporting a URL basesd drill thr...

Cognos 11 Data Modules - Data Source Sort and Filter Functionality

When adding data sources to a data module, the listing of uploaded files (or data servers, etc) can be very large. Right now, there is no organization of this list. If you could add a folder structure to that result set, or filtering, that would h...
