WHITE PAPER:
This paper discusses how and why to design SQL that will reduce the number of times calls are made to DB2. We'll look at how to write SMART applications rather than writing applications that act like generic I/O modules to DB2, properly tune SMART SQL, and how to exploit SQL and application features in DB2 on z/OS version 8 and 9.
WHITE PAPER:
Learn how DB2 can help you meet the demands of business intelligence by reducing query response time from hours to seconds, supporting real time data warehousing, and optimizing your storage while lowering operating costs.
WEBCAST:
New compatibility features in IBM DB2 make the move from Oracle to DB2 easier than ever before. Hear from customers and IBM experts about their porting experiences.
ANALYST REPORT:
Conducted by the research firm ORC International, this study found that performing common database management tasks for Oracle Database 11g R2 took less time and fewer resources than performing the same tasks for DB2 Enterprise 9.7. Although funded by Oracle, the study was independently conducted by ORC.
CASE STUDY:
Learn how Key Energy Services, Inc., the largest rig-based oil well services company in the industry, is using Robot/SCHEDULE - the automated, job scheduler and batch management software across multiple platforms.
TECHNICAL ARTICLE:
This is a developerWorks article. This article summarizes the new pureXML capabilities, explains how they can be used, and discusses sample application scenarios.
EBOOK:
With support for IBM DB2 for z/OS Version 8 retiring in April 2012, customers will have the option to skip a level and upgrade straight to DB2 10. This e-book is designed to help customers decide whether they are a good candidate to make this leap and provides best practices for planning an effective migration strategy.
TRIAL SOFTWARE:
IBM Data Studio provides an integrated, modular environment for productive administration of DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows, and collaborative database development tools for DB2, Informix, Oracle, and Sybase. View this page to get an overview of its components and download a trial of Data Studio with a free database, DB2 Express-C.
