Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first release of DB2, this book
highlights the important milestones, capabilities, and impacts of the
database management software for IBM's mainframe operating system.
Special focus is given to IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator, covering the
key design and operational aspects that enable IBM DB2 for z/OS clients
to benefit from faster performance, reduced CPU usage, and lower costs.
The second half of the book discusses performance enhancements and
cost-saving measures in the version 10 release and is rich with hints
and tips for a successful upgrade. A special section on query
performance and IBM DB2 Optimizer illustrates how DB2 10 addresses
customer issues such as reducing total cost of ownership while
maintaining stability and reliability. The final section is a collection
of case studies in which DB2 10 for z/OS customers share their migration
experiences and articulate the business benefits they are seeing since
upgrading to the new release.
