What fixpak should we use fro a production machine? FP7 or FP7a? What's
the difference?

Now I see, there is a FP7a for AIX 4.3.3, but not for Linux IA32, only a
checksum file! What's with the fixpak?

FP6 and FP7, have both been replaced with FP6a and FP7a respectively. These
are currently being uploaded to the ftp site ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/fixes The uploads should be
finished shortly

To my knowledge, FP7a has some additional fixes for security problems
discovered in the original FP7 - everything else should be the same.
When IBM discovers a security hole, a top priority is made to address
the problem in all available fixpaks that are identified as containing
it. An example of a problem that would require a security fix would be
a stack overwrites that potentially allowed a user to input malicious
code directly into the executable area. In such cases, the
corresponding fixpaks are pulled and a replacement fixpak with the "a"
suffix is substituted.
No additional functionality beyond addressing the security concern is
added to the "a" fixpaks.

Fixpak 4a contains a fix for a certain SQL statement that returns the wrong
answer. This is obviously also considered an urgent fix, probably more so
than a security problem. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hallo allerseits,
habe die UDB 8.1 mit dem Fixpack 7a versehen. Will man nun aus dem
ControlCenter die Leistungsparameter mit dem Wizard neu berechnen lassen,
so wird beim fertigstellen dieser Schritte die Fehlermeldung DBA 1107
hervorgerufen. Die unter der Fehlermeldung dargestellten
Fehlermöglichkeiten sind überprüft worden. Hat jemand noch Ideen, was hier
die Ursache sein könnte?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
