Status Not under consideration
Workspace Db2

Created on Aug 15, 2018

Allow CREATE/REPLACE for users other than owner

Currently on Db2 LUW CREATE OR REPLACE is only allowed for the owner of a database object. CREATE OR REPLACE authorization should be opened up to allow create/replace by anyone who has the ability to drop the object and to create the object with any existing granted privileges retained. As a result the ownership of the object may change. This matches the current Db2 for i behaviour of CREATE OR REPLACE .

    The only logical result of this type of process is all involved developers will end up using the same system id that owns all the objects to do their maintenance work. This to avoid the extra work of having to track all dependencies and guarantee everything is caught and recreated back in the same order. This was the reason the function was created in the first place, remove the element of human error from the process.

    With that said the result ends up causing a non-compliance from an AUDIT perspective because you can’t track what developer is making what changes. Since they all end up using the same id the details of who did the work is lost. This goes against well established best practices.


    Can someone please explain to me why it was set to be this way officially?

    Kind Regards,

    Yes, original OWNER may no longer have active security credentials. Nothing should be blocked based on OWNER.

    yes, I think... it must GRANT EXECUTE, ALTER on the procedure to other user!
