Thoughts on DB2
We will now be posting all our presentations and articles online through slideshare. Click here to take a look.
You can find recent presentations on data growth and high availability technologies for DB2. look out for more content coming soon.
DB2 for z/OS data sharing is well-acknowledged by industry experts for providing the highest availability, and addressing planned and unplanned outages. Nevertheless, end-users only care that their task is executed. If the application server cannot reach out to the database server even when the database server is up and running – there is no execution. Join IBM for this complimentary teleconference as they walk through the step-by-step process to set up a distributed application environment accessing a DB2 data sharing group for high availability. There will discuss frequently asked questions, especially those related to Parallel Sysplex® workload balancing and connection concentration.
You’ll come away with a good understanding of how to:
Achieve continuous service availability
Reap more benefit from your existing Parallel Sysplex and data sharing investments
Route workloads dynamically to the images in the Parallel Sysplex that have the most capacity or best throughput

Take a look at IT management from a different perspective. James Cockayne, Principal DBA at Camelot Group gives us his views on key issues for DBAs, virtualization solutions and how a DBA can ensure they get that all important beauty sleep! – http://www.it-director.com/technology/data_mgmt/content.php?cid=11469
IBM DB2 9.7 introduces enhancements that allow you to make changes to the database objects while keeping these objects fully accessible to the database users during the modification. These enhancements allow database administrators to make vital changes to the database schema on the fly without any disruption to users. This article includes examples that demonstrate how to use the ALTER TABLE command to rename columns and change column data types. Other examples demonstrate how to use the ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE routine to move and modify tables while keeping them accessible.
