SYSIXADV Question.

I've been looking at the various aspects of tuning SQLs at a site I've just started working at. I saw some documentation concerning the SYSIXADV table in the catalog held in QSYS2. I found this table on our development box when I was 'immersing' myself in this topic and thought excitedly went to our production box to see what the advisor thought about some poor running SQLs, but I couldn't find it! 

So I guess the questions are:

Should this file exist?
Does it need to be configured/initialised in some way?
Does it's non-appearance on the production machine reflect some sort of system deficiency?
I've also been reading some of the material in mid-range regading the use of a DBA on iSeries sites, and the consensus seems to be that there's not enough work to keep a full-time DBA occupied. This new site I'm at has a massive financial application and has some 50 developers, some of whom know SQL, but none seem to be aware of the DB optimization features available.
Surely sites of this site elsewhere in the iSeries world have one or more people who are conversant with this sort of stuff?
I post my SQL questions here as it's the only list which seems to be relevant. Is it time for an SQL-L List? 


Thanks in Advance,

Mike Pantzopoulos
