Just out of curiosity Mark, what is IBM going to "fix"? There's no fault here, just a longer run time for a query. If IBM were required to create an index for all the various uses of the table functions that users might want/need, there would be so many that it would be unmanageable. Now, IBM might deem this one worthy, but I would not call this a fault. Enter an Idea, sure.

I can see a temporary index being created if there are more than a couple of queries that might use it run all at once, (remove when done) but I would be careful about a permanent object being created over a table function or system table. Too many bad possibilities to consider.

Subject Re: Index over QSYS/QADBXREF

Justin,

Since you are using an IBM supplied table function, or view, or whatever, (QSYS2.RECORD_LOCK_INFO), open a "PMR" or "case" with IBM Support to report this as a problem, and suggest that IBM should "fix" this.

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

VE is recommending an index over QSYS/QADBXREF. The query in question is using QSYS2.RECORD_LOCK_INFO. I've never seen an index recommended over a QSYS table before. Is it a bad idea to create indexes over QSYS tables (they'd be in a diff schema of course).
