DB2 Universal Database Performance Tuning.

K. Bernhard Schiefer, Gary Valentin

Abstract

DB2 Universal Database is the flagship Relational Database from IBM. By building on decades of groundbreaking IBM Database Research projects, DB2 Universal Database benefits from a pervasive and continuous infusion of advanced technology ranging from first-class optimizer and compiler technology to advanced locking, logging and recovery mechanisms, all designed with a common thread of high performance in both OLTP and complex query environments. This article will take the reader on a whirlwind tour of DB2 Universal Database, with a focus on the new auto-configuration tools. Find out how its open platform support exploits a rich repertoire of data storage techniques and how the latest Java-based administration tools can be used to quickly build and configure a DB2 Universal Database for maximum performance.
