I should hope we're non-standard! I've been going around and around with a software vendor that keeps insisting that I need to tell our DBA to run the "Database Optimization Tool" they provide-- it uses the RUNSTATS process to rebuild file indices, gather statistics, and otherwise clean up the database.

I keep telling them that the iSeries doesn't -have- a RUNSTATS command, it doesn't -need- a RUNSTATS command, and that I -am- the DBA.

Well, I'm the closest thing to a DBA we have on the iSeries machines.

Now as far as I can determine, RUNSTATS does exist for DB2 on -other- platforms... but all we do on the iSeries is a RGZPFM from time to time. But try and convince non-iSeries people that we have a better way...

*sigh*

Unlike Oracle and SQL server, I do not need to gather statistics,
rebuild existing indexes, manage table spaces, or have headaches when
updating server hardware. Does this make DB2 on our beloved box a
non-standard database?
