DB2 version10, more extensive opportunities of a timestamp

[JCortoos]

We use version 10 of DB2 but MEGA does not support version 10.

In DB2 lower versions the number of digits in the fractional seconds portion of a timestamp is specified using an attribute of 6. We would like to have a larger range of 12.

Do we have an alternative to use more extensive opportunities of a timestamp ?

Thanks

Hello Jan

It seems that a specific implementation is required to manage this kind of DDL.

As far as I know, the support of the generation target DB2 V10 is not planned for the moment.

If this is important to you and you need some assistance to study a specific implementation, I suggest you contact your MEGA account manager.

Hello Jerome,

When we create a DDL-file in db2-version 8 it looks like this :
( there is only one type of timestamp created by 'p-timestamp' in package 'pivot')

CREATE TABLE CBTRKO07
(
  REG_DS TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  VNS_NR CHAR(4) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT,
  CTT_NR CHAR(7) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT,
  ...

 We would  like to be able to create a DDL like this : (timestamp can have a variable number of characters)

CREATE TABLE
       CERATEST.CBTDBETS
        (
        DBE_NO  CHAR(7) NOT NULL

Hello Jan

With MEGA Database, the generation Target DB2 version 10 is indeed not supported.

However, can you explain better, where in the MEGA application (detail or GUI used and action performed), you cannot manage timestamps as you wish to do it.
