IBM i 7.1 Technology Refresh 5 DB2 for i


DB2 for i: Value Proposition Enhanced

§  DB2 for i - My Data is My Business, and the Data is on i –  DB2 for i is fully integrated into IBM i –  Full implementation of DB2

•  Underlying mechanism for accessing data on the platform, including i itself

–  DB2 for i contains unique interfaces and functions used in key applications

–  New enhancements include: •  Named Arguments and Defaults for Parameters – Procedures •  INSERT with remote SUBSELECT and CREATE TABLE with remote

SUBSELECT •  SQE enhancement for Encoded Vector Indexes defined with INCLUDE •  Modification of Global Variables within triggers and functions •  Simplified DDM and DRDA authentication entry management using group

profiles



§  Simplicity - Run the Business, not the Computer –  Easy, cohesive, high-powered functions –  Clients focus on the business, not the

details of management, performance, storage, users, security, etc

–  Additional enhancements improve the return on investment

•  JTOpen Lite and JTLite – enabling mobile devices which use java •  Navigator for i – New look and no Windows Client to manage •  Collection Services includes Physical I/O breakdown by SQL activity •  Performance Data Investigator – New Database Perspective •  CPYTOIMPF, CPYFRMIMPF, RUNSQLSTM and RUNSQL command

improvements •  OmniFind for IBM i – searching Multiple Member source physical files •  Improved performance of privileges catalogs, ODBC & JDBC MetaData

APIs



§  Integration - “It’s In There” –  Clients have what they need to run their business –  Key database functions such as relational database, security, web serving,

disk management, multi-workload management are part of IBM I –  IBM i 7.1 TR5 further extends these functions, including:

•  Automatically increase the SQE Plan Cache Size •  Add MTIs used for a source of statistics within the index advisor and

index advisor condenser •  Performance enhancements for large numbers of row locks •  Improved NULLID package management •  Performance improvements for temporary tables •  Improved catalog management for procedures and functions

This? This? OR


Named Arguments and Defaults for Parameters - Procedures

§  Named and default parameters supported for SQL and external procedures – making it possible to run more SQL applications on IBM i.

§  Extend procedures without fear of breaking existing callers and simplify the calling requirements by adding default values.

§  Procedure call invocation has the same type of support as CL commands.

§  With this enhancement: §  1) Parameters may be omitted if the routine was defined with a default value §  2) Parameters may be specified in any order by specifying the name in the call §  3) Works with LANGUAGE SQL and EXTERNAL procedures

§  CREATE PROCEDURE p1 (i1 INT, i2 INT DEFAULT 0, i3 INT DEFAULT -1)... §  CALL p1(55) §  CALL p1(55, i3=>33)


Modifying Global Variables within triggers and functions

§  SQL Global variables allow communication between applications within a specific session

§  Previously, triggers and functions only referenced global variables –  Attempts to modify the global variable returned error codes to program

•  SQLCODE = -20430 •  SQLSTATE = '428GX‘

§  Example of what can be done now:

CREATE VARIABLE PRODLIB.MOST_RECENT_ORDER BIGINT DEFAULT 0 CREATE TRIGGER PRODLIB.INSERT_ORDER

BEFORE INSERT ON PRODLIB.ORDER_TABLE REFERENCING NEW AS N FOR EACH ROW MODE DB2ROW IE : BEGIN ATOMIC

SET PRODLIB.MOST_RECENT_ORDER = NEW_ORDER_VALUE(); SET N.ORDER_VALUE = PRODLIB.MOST_RECENT_ORDER; END IE


Improved NULLID package management

§  NULLID package management – automating the creation of necessary objects (collections and dynamic packages) to more seamlessly allow applications using DB2 family database connectivity methods to access data in DB2 for i

§  DB2® for Linux®, UNIX®, and Windows®, IBM® DB2 Universal Driver for SQLJ and JDBC, ODBC, CLI, DB2 Connect and other application requesters rely upon SQL package (*SQLPKG) objects within the NULLID collection.

Enhancements: 1.  The NULLID collection is created automatically upon the first attempt by a DRDA

client to bind or execute using a package within NULLID. 2.  The ownership of the NULLID collection is assigned to the QSYS user profile

and *PUBLIC is granted *CHANGE authority by default when the system automatically creates the NULLID collection.

3.  DB2 for i will also automatically create the dynamic packages used by JDBC, ODBC, and CLI. These packages are named SYSzcxy, SYSzcxyy, SYSzcxyy, SYSzcxyy and SYSzTAT.


Automatic management of catalogs when librarian commands target SQL routines

§  When a procedure or function is created, the routine information is stored within the *PGM or *SRVPGM. Previously, when Librarian commands were used to copy/move/rename the object, the QSYS2/SYSROUTINE, SYSPARMS and SYSRTNDEP catalogs weren’t updated to stay in sync with the executable.

§  The following commands (and their API counterparts) are changed to keep the catalogs in sync with the executable object for LANGUAGE SQL procedures and functions:

1.  Create Duplicate Object (CRTDUPOBJ) 2.  Copy Library (CPYLIB) 3.  Rename Object (RNMOBJ) 4.  Move Object (MOVOBJ)

§  Includes coverage for Librarian APIs or other operations built upon these commands.


CREATE TABLE with remote SUBSELECT

•  CREATE TABLE AS and DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE are enhanced to allow the select to reference a single remote database which is different than the current server connection •  An implicit remote connection is established and used by DB2 for i •  The remote query can reference a single remote homogeneous or heterogeneous table Example: CREATE TABLE DATALIB.MY_TEMP_TABLE AS (SELECT CURRENT_SERVER CONCAT ' is the Server Name', IBMREQD FROM X1423P2.SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1) WITH DATA""SELECT * FROM DATALIB.MY_TEMP_TABLE"

ü  7.1 Base – 3-part name support ü  TR4 – INSERT WITH remote SUBSELECT ü  TR5 – CREATE TABLE WITH remote SUBSELECT


OmniFind for IBM i

§  The OmniFind™ Text Search Server for DB2 for i product (5733-OMF) for IBM i 7.1 enhancements

–  additional SQL programmable interfaces extend support beyond traditional DB2 tables

–  Multiple Member source physical files added one at a time to the OmniFind collection.

•  members from source physical file retrieved/treated as separate objects.

–  During the OmniFind update processing, new or removed members recognized and processed appropriately.


DB2 WebQuery for i: v2.1 Product enhancements §  New look and feel

–  Links to Web Query Wiki with Tutorials, Redbook and forum

–  Links to product page with latest offerings and features

–  GUI (Portal) for working with reports and folders

§  Improved Mobility Support with ‘My Mobile Favorites’

§  Web based user management –  admin, dba, dev, user, scheduler,

workbench §  User Role Based Security §  Web browser Meta Data editor §  Consolidated report development tool

(InfoAssist) §  Integrated OS based report scheduling* §  And lots more

* Available in Web Query Standard Edition


Multi-threading on POWER7 and SMP Boss Option 26

§  Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) available since POWER5 –  key building block for improved scalability and throughput –  enables concurrent execution of instruction streams of multiple threads on

the same core using instruction pipes.

§  POWER7 processors include support for 4-way SMT –  up to four thread’s instruction streams can concurrently use a core –  all contribute to maximizing the use of the instruction pipes

•  maximizing computing capacity within each core

SMT 4-way SMT


§  DB2 Symmetric Multiprocessing exploits the power of POWER7 machines –  Chargeable feature (5770SS1 Option 26)

§  Will reduce the throughput time needed for things like: –  Index builds –  Index rebuilds –  SQL Query execution –  User Defined Function –  User Defined Table Functions

§  IBM’s Lab Based Services offers assistance and education for IBM i SMP
