Re: IBM i 7.3 Temporal tables

Excellent!!

I know I have entered requirements and voted for others. Sometimes you get contacted Before the decision with questions or for discussion. They may combine requirements into one that's better. And sometimes, as example my latest, they get whacked from the sky despite a fair bit of support. Turns out this one was technically impossible to do! (Who knew?)

Clearly as you suggest things DO come out without specific requirements because IBM does watch the industry but if they know what we all want they do indeed listen!

So now go out there and dream up some cool stuff to submit!!

I see your point in "don't complain if you didn't let IBM know what is
desired", I will take that advise to the heart.
In the mid of 2015 I submitted an extra DCR for it, I must admit that I
stepped too late on the "vote" trains.
My believe was that it would be "natural" for IBM to bring this DB2 feature
to the i platform, so I did not act earlier.
And I'm glad with what is brought now by 7.3, and hope they willl extend
the temporal features soon.

Did you submit a reimbursement to IBM for this function prior to 2012? If
not did you vote for an existing requirement for this function?
If not can you understand why this is one reason that it wasn't provided
sooner?

Seriously unless we ask IBM for specific enhancements we will get the
things that others ask for!!

Today IBM announced IBM i 7.3.
Great enhancements are in it, there is also the great feature for
temporal tables, which is fulfilling long-cherished wishes of some of us.
