ADD COLUMN transaction_timeTIMESTAMP(12) GENERATED ALWAYS AS TRANSACTION START ID

ADD PERIOD SYSTEM_TIME (row_birth, row_death);

CREATE TABLE account_hist LIKE account;

ALTER TABLE account ADD VERSIONING USE HISTORY TABLE account_hist;

Create history table

Establish Generated Columns

Enable Temporal tracking

Temporal construction for data-centric history


With Temporal Table & Generated columns, you can:

o Show me the client reps from two years ago

SELECT CLIENT_REP FROM ACCOUNTS

FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF CURRENT TIMESTAMP – 2 YEARS

o Produce an inventory report using a different point in time

SET CURRENT TEMPORAL SYSTEM_TIME '2016-03-22 17:00:00';

CALL GENERATE_INVENTORY_REPORT();

o Who deleted that row?

SELECT AUDIT_USER, AUDIT_JOB FROM SALES

FOR SYSTEM_TIME FROM CURRENT DATE – 1 MONTH TO

CURRENT DATE WHERE AUDIT_OP = ‘D’

o Who last updated this row?

SELECT AUDIT_USER, AUDIT_CLIENT_IP FROM ITEM_FACT

WHERE ITEM_KEY = ‘125A16’

DB2 for i – SQL answers


How to Use Authority Collection

Trace security enforcement for a user

Four actions:1. Start (STRAUTCOL)2. End (ENDAUTCOL)3. Display (iAccess for Web or

QSYS2.AUTHORITY_COLLECTION)4. Delete (DLTAUTCOL)

Reduce data collection using filters:UsersLibraries ObjectsObject Types File System ObjectsExclude OS Programs, internal objects, etc


Determine whether excess authority exists for a user:

SELECT SYSTEM_OBJECT_NAME, DETAILED_REQUIRED_AUTHORITY, DETAILED_CURRENT_AUTHORITYFROM QSYS2.AUTHORITY_COLLECTION AWHERE AUTHORIZATION_NAME = 'SCOTTF' AND SYSTEM_OBJECT_SCHEMA = 'TOYSTORE‘ GROUP BY

SYSTEM_OBJECT_NAME, DETAILED_REQUIRED_AUTHORITY, DETAILED_CURRENT_AUTHORITY ORDER BY 1,2,3;

Authority Collection – Interrogate the collected data
