- The Application Development Client allows you to create your own applications for accessing data. DB2 provides both static interfaces in which SQL statements are preoptimized for high performance and dynamic interfaces where SQL statements are generated by running applications.
- The License Center displays license status and usage information for the DB2 products installed on your system. You can also use it to configure your system for proper license monitoring.
- Visual Explain lets you view the access plan for explained SQL statements as a graph. You can use this information to tune your SQL queries for better performance.
DB2 enables you to develop applications and applets that access and manipulate DB2 databases by providing support for the latest industry standards, including Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), ISO Database Language SQL, Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Java Embedded SQL (SQLJ), and OLE DB.
