@HRHospital Hi .. the https://t.co/bgqnNXTHCI site has a similar chart showing Saturday to Monday. Is the popup still running Monday for these postal codes?

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

@MKrafick @mnicolaIBM Sounds good, Mike! Myself, I'm still tinkering with my own informal branch of https://t.co/cNTZkSDCZ0, for occasional consulting work and my own entertainment. You can take the boy out of Db2 Performance, but ...

@ember_crooks @mstopfer1 This is a hard time of year, when the great #IDUGDb2 EU conference is on, and I'm not there to hang out with so many great people! Have fun, everyone!

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

@PIbarDup Hey Pablo, good to hear from you. I hope you're enjoying the variety in the new role! I'm enjoying retirement & a bit of consulting. Feel free to reach out (but I don't watch twitter too carefully, so apologies in advance if I don't respond very quickly...)

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

For #DB2 customers with large transactional systems (including #pureScale), here's a really relevant RFE - inplace REORG on partitioned tables with global indexes - check it out & vote! https://t.co/3YRzWlfse8

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

@PandianNellai Hmm, not sure. No way to trigger on this that I can see. Probably the best strategy is to limit who can grant in the first place. @MikeSpringgayand @IBM_Paul_Bird know lots more about this area than I do.

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

Yeah, it's quite reasonable for a quick and dirty workload generator https://t.co/dSRCgm0W4s

[Murali Chava @Muralichava]

@ember_crooks @Roger_E_Sanders Hammerdb is one of the options that we used to generate the load and test

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

@roberton_gdl Thanks Roberto. Try logging into developer Works first and then follow the link. @Roger_E_Sanders found that out.

[nixCraft 🐧 @nixcraft]

LOL. Via https://t.co/OsLDWpxlrE

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

@Roger_E_Sanders Thanks @Roger_E_Sanders

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

@smooth1x1 Thanks David! Not sure why the link didn't work - it's just the bit.ly version of what dW gave me.

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

Want Db2 to track SQL failures and warnings in mon_get_pkg_cache_stmt? Vote for my RFE :-) https://t.co/UZWc16G3oP

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

Wish I was there at another great IDUG Europe! Have fun, everyone! https://t.co/LZ1qV262cZ

[Michael Tiefenbacher @globomike]

Hey Melanie @mstopfer1 ...this one is for you and for @db2steve #IDUGDb2

[Mayor Jeff Longwell @jefflongwellict]

Someone has big regrurts over this.

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

@adharanand Just finished your book on running in Japan. Great read! Enjoyed your description of the meeting with the monk. Great to see the photo!

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

I'm flattered at the influence you think I wielded... 😂 Twitter needs to add an eye - roll emoji for this topic... https://t.co/Nx2JkmZ3RJ

[Erwin Hattingh @erwin_hattingh]

@db2steve IBM did not dare to rebrand DB2 when Steve @db2steve was an employee 😄. Seems they waited for both @db2steve and @mstopfer1 to retire 😎

[Ember Crooks @ember_crooks]

@ianhakes I wonder if the places DB2 needs to be changed to Db2 on IBM sites alone is over a million?

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

Written by my great IBM colleague Kostas Rakopoulas and I - dbsummary on steroids. Internal power tool, now externalized. Glad you like it! https://t.co/ToTY71wKST

[Mike Krafick @MKrafick]

Take a serious look at this new #DB2 support tool. Some of what I found -https://t.co/3qyVFFoHWQ . Thanks to @jc_mueller for tweeting it.

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

#papersize = (#subjectcomplexity x #productsintegrated x #diagramcount x (1 + #marginwidth) x #fontsize) ** #verbosityfactor https://t.co/78VZ9c99mY

[Ian Bjorhovde @idbjorh]

The question that crosses my mind is not “why did this take so long to be published”, but rather “what’s with the crazy paper size?!” https://t.co/vXBCM4CnwV

[Steve Rees @db2steve]

Don't get me started on IBM bureaucracy in getting things published. I was thinking I'd have to tweet it out, bit by bit... https://t.co/xW5t03igRI

[Erwin Hattingh @erwin_hattingh]

@db2steve Some Secrecy from 2015, published in 2017 😆 Thanks Steve ! (btw, you are retired so go back to your well deserved beer)
