Is there any substantial change from IBM DB2 LUW 11.5.5 to 11.5.8 about SQL statements or functionality???

  • 1.  Is there any substantial change from IBM DB2 LUW 11.5.5 to 11.5.8 about SQL statements or functionality???

    Posted Wed August 30, 2023 04:58 AM

    We're migrating our databases to IBM DB2 LUW 11.5.8 but we have a few different versions (11.5.5 and 11.5.7) on other instances.

    Does anyone know if is there any substantial change of functionality, object definition or SQL statement that avoid to live together with the same app code?

    I read the documentation about changelog of last releases and speak only about generic stuff on performance, security and so on but nothing about functionality.

    patch level updates within the same major version of IBM Db2 (like from 11.5.5 to 11.5.8) are designed to be backwards-compatible and should not introduce breaking changes that would affect existing applications.

    Hi Mark,

     

    Yes, of course. I read the changes between 11.5.5 and 11.5.8 and there are no changes documented about SQL sentences or functionality.

     

    But, sometimes, the documentation is not 100% correct, so I asked the community to see if anyone find any trouble. Obviously, we'll make our checks also to ensure all is as we expected.

     

    Thank you and regards.

    Hi Mark,

    I wrote an erroneous answer to your previous question. What I tried to say is that "I read the changes between 11.5.5 and 11.5.8 and there are no changes documented about SQL sentences or functionality" --> that affect to our develop.

    Thank you again,
