Additional columns for MTI_INFO table function

It would useful also to retrieve:

- the number of rows of the table.

- the number of entries of the temporary index (if sparse).

- the number of utilization of this temporary index. We already have the number of references.

- the order (ASC or DESC) of the keys in KEY_DEFINITION column to be consistent with presentation of keys in Q1000L column of QQRID=3002 record (snapshot of plan cache).

- the sequence table name and its library.

This will allow to decide if this temporary index should be permanently created and gives all the information to create it.

    Some comments:

    #1 MTI_INFO delivers the list of MTI that currently exists on partition.

    QSYS2.SYSIXADV delivers the list of MTIs has been created but there is no way to know if these MTIs still exist.

    The fact that an MTI has been created after the last IPL does not means that the MTI still exists.

    #2 QSYS2.SYSIXADV does not indicate if it is a full or sparse index.

    #3 QSYS2.SYSIXADV does not indicate if the key orders are ASC or DESC.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this Idea at this time, so it is being closed. 

    We do not plan to add information that is not directly associated with MTIs to this table function. Much of the information you are asking for is available through SQL already, contained in the QSYS2.SYSTABLESTAT and QSYS2.SYSIXADV views. Combining this information into a single query is being considered for an upcoming example that would be published as a gist. When/if that happens, this Idea will be updated with a link to the example.
