So...given the new temporal support...

And the following quote from Mark Anderson, the chief architect for DB2 for
i and a distinguished engineer at IBM.
"We suspect that a lot of people who use the capability will want to use
partitioning on their history table and either save off and then get rid of
the partition or detach the partition after some period in time just to
keep the amount of storage that they have on their system down,"
http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh041316-story01.html

And the fact that partitioning a local table requires DB2 Multisystem, a
$25,000 option on a P05 box...

Wondering if it would be appropriate to re-create Rob's CRRC to unbundle
local partitioning from DB2 Multisystem that was rejected back in February?

And / Or add a DCR.

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.
