“Your
Data Warehouse Should be on DB2 for z/OS”
In recent years there has been an increased interest in using DB2 for z/OS as the database of choice for data warehousing. This resurgence is in part due to the introduction of new features and functions in DB2 Version 8 and DB2 9. You can’t have a data warehouse without using a database. Despite the rumors, DB2 for z/OS is still a great foundation, if not the place, for your data warehouse. This presentation will demonstrate the enhancements being made to DB2 for z/OS Version 8 and DB2 9 for z/OS in direct support of data warehousing.
“Structure
and Format Enhancements in DB2 for z/OS V9: UTS & RRF”
DB2 9 delivers a brand feature that has generated considerable discussion.
It's a new structure type called universal table space. There is also a second enhancement that you may not hear as much about; a new storage format referred to as reordered row format. Both of these will significantly improve your DB2 experience by making a couple aspects of DB2 easier to manage. This presentation will give you the details behind how both of these features are implemented, how to use them and a look at a few things you cannot use them for.
