Considerations for using the Similarity Check feature
You must consider the following factors before using the Similarity Check feature:
The DDL_VIEW_SIMILARITY_CHECK defaults attribute is set to ENABLE, by default. In
SQL/MX Release 3.2, if you create a view on a schema with version 1200, 3000, or 3100,
a version-related error is returned. You must set the default attribute to OFF before creating a
view on schemas with a version earlier than 3200.
If you perform a metadata upgrade on a schema with version 1200, 3000, or 3100 that
contains views, DISABLE SIMILARITY CHECK is added to the view text, and appears in
the SHOWDDL output.
Implementing the new functionality
If there is a chance of falling back to an earlier version, you must defer the implementation of the
new functionality until you are sure that fallback is unlikely.
