Business Problem:- Increasing cost pressures


Increased cost pressure forces companies to ensure investments spent on their information and infrastructure have maximum value returned. Many companies realize that IBM DB2 is the database management system of choice for relieving cost pressures, helping to deliver greater business value with low operational costs, high reliability and increased ease of use.

Customers who want to migrate their databases to DB2 often find challenges in migrating database schema and tables because vendor specific data types are used. Application code or stored procedures are also typically coded in vendor specific language.

This requires different skill sets and large effort to port the database application layer to work with DB2

Solution


DB2 9.7 introduces a number of enhancements that help simplify the movement of applications to DB2 and leverage existing skills. With DB2 9.7, differences are now the exception, not the rule, when it comes to many database and development features including concurrency models, SQL dialects, data types, procedural languages, packages and scripting languages. Applications enabled to DB2 can run with full native execution, delivering high performance.

This workshop demonstrates the entire process of enabling other vendor database to DB2.
