Required few more fields in MFViews & RI dependies table in SQL box for DB2 Enrichment

we could use this ADDI data to replace our Db2 ‘Enrichment’ process where we pull in additional dependant tables required because applications use certain views, or tables that have referential integrity (RI) defined. However, looking at the data available it doesn’t look like either of these processes can be replaces.

For Views we need to know what tables a view is dependent on (SYSVIEWDEP) – but that is not available here.

For RI dependencies we need information from Db2 catalog table SYSRELS – which again isn’t listed here – so we cannot work out what relationship exists between tables.

it would be helpful if we have below fields in SQL box. 

From SYSVIEWDEP we would need:

BNAME

BCREATOR

BTYPE

DNAME

DCREATOR

DTYPE

 

From SYSRELS we would need:

 

CREATOR

TBNAME

RELNAME

REFTBNAME

REFTBCREATOR

 

Thanks,

Maha

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 18 month window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
