Re: 7.2 Python PTFs FYI

Buck,

Is it possible a the PTFs were all python pip modules? IBM might have
wanted to bless a hundred modules or so as official by makingthem PTFs
instead of fhaving you install via "pip install" Most of the linux distos
do that for many perl and python modules.

IBM's strategy around 5733-OPS baffles me, so I have no idea what IBM
were thinking with these 7.1 PTFs being delivered to a 7.2 machine. If
they were, in fact, Python modules, I'm utterly at a loss to understand
why they would be deliveres as mostly PTFs for 999 and SS1 rather than
5733-OPS, but who am I to try to make sense out of IBM?

I deleted them, but I have a record of what they were - in my job log.
I'll pick an early one, 5770-SS1 SI38857. Looking at the PTF page, I
see that it was on cume 0229710, which is from 2010. The text: 'Adding
changes for SQL Partitioned table support.'

Doesn't look like a Python module to me.

Let me choose another. 5770-999 MF56709. Cume from late 2013. Text
reads 'For SQL statements that use an OR relational operator in the
Where selection, no index advise is generated.'
