QUESTION: Does db2 8.2 for z/OS support ALLOW REVERSE SCAN onindexes?

BD
Hey, all.

Subject line says it all.

But for background:

I'm developing on UDB for Windows. The production application is on z/
OS.

I'm using some Quest tools (SQL Optimizer) to review some queries, and
it suggests that creating some indexes with the ALLOW REVERSE SCANS
option will increase performance.

I'm managing the data model with ERwin. In the configuration of ERwin,
I do see an option to ALLOW REVERSE SCANS on my indexes when the data
model is being generated for UDB LUW, but I do not see the option when
I'm working with a z/OS-supported data model.

Not quite sure where to start digging here, but I'm hauled down a few
IBM PDFs, and have found no conclusive evidence that this parameter is
supported under z/OS - but I have not yet stumbled upon the full-on
syntax guide.

I will continue to do so - but thought I might poll the group. I've
seen several differences in terms of what is supported under the
various flavors of db2...

Thanks!!

Follow-up. Found the syntax guide on publib.boulder. ibm.com - it
mentions no ALLOW REVERSE SCAN in the CREATE INDEX syntax.

The documentation is unclear (at least to me) on the permissibility of accessing DB2 (8.1.5) concurrently on and from Windows 2000 / XP / 2003, with separate transactions scope, from separate threads of a multithreaded program using embedded SQL.

Why isn't ALLOW REVERSE SCANS the default? Why do we have to - drop PK - create an index - recreate PK What are the advantages of indexes that do not allow reverse scans?

On a 3 column table, the PK consists of all 3 columns. I have queries on the first two columns, as well as on the last two columns. (Select * where column3=x and column2=y.) I was hoping that this same pk index will suffice for the latter (reverse-scan is on), but its doing a table scan. Have I misinterpreted what a reverse-scan is? Please advise. Thanks. nat
