A View with Select * should be regenertated without Drop/Create View

We have a lot of views defined with Select *. Since DB2 V8 we have the option to add columns to the base table, but the view does not include the new column, which is ok and accepted. But to get the new column we have to drop and recreate the View...

Rename column should be possible if View is on table

We encountered that Rename column is not possible if a View esists on the appropriate table. We would like to exploit this new function (Rename Column), but we have views, which does not allow that. We already have a similar requirement MR02141152...

Add support for CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW syntax

I've seen that Db2 LUW and other types of databases support the syntax to do CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW. This can be useful as you don't have to have a separate statement to drop a view before rerunning a create statement. I had a new DB2 DBA on our t...

Message in *MSTR after 'STOP DB2 MODE(FORCE)' - command

Message in *MSTR after 'STOP DB2 MODE(FORCE)' It would be very helpful for debugging and analysis if you would document an STOP DB2 MODE(FORCE) in the *mstr -joblog. In addition from my point of view the message 'DSN9022I <DBR2 DSNYASCP 'STO ...

Alter (global) VARIABLE command

It is not possible to ALTER a global variable, it is necessary to do DROP + re-CREATE it. And previously we must DROP all the objects that depends on it: PROCEDURE, FUNCTION, TRIGGER, VIEWS ..., and the packages are marked as invalid. After havin...

Add an option to run a failed query again

After running a set of SQL statements in one single go, the SQL Results view shows a twistie with the success or failure status of each individual statement, and of the statement group as a whole. Quite often -- especially when running DDL -- I ha...
