This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.
ideasibm@us.ibm.com - Use this email to suggest enhancements to the Ideas process or request help from IBM for submitting your Ideas.
IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.
The database team has a long list of higher priority requirements, so this request is not likely to be implemented anytime soon.
two years ago you wrote "We're considering writing an article for IBM i developerWorks."
does this article exist? or are you still writing?
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature. A source of comprehensive documentation of the options would alleviate some frustrations with finding the proper information.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

we found out that the driver (e.g. ibmda400) has a big performance difference when it used in ms-access or sql-server.
in sql-server it is much slower than in ms-access (using the same select statement).
maybe there are additional parameters in sql-server that has to set correct?
a redbook for iseries and sql-server connections would be very useful.
- specially we need an overview for all the parameters for the different drivers and for what this parameters are.
- we found out that some drivers need that the database has a journal and some drivers don't need a journal.
- diverences in the configuration of sql-server and normal client.
- also the "login with windows-username" works different depending on the used driver.
- what is the best driver for performance (for less data and for big data), and which one has the best security.
We're considering writing an article for IBM i developerWorks.
