WHITE PAPER:
This paper discusses how and why to design SQL that will reduce the number of times calls are made to DB2. We'll look at how to write SMART applications rather than writing applications that act like generic I/O modules to DB2, properly tune SMART SQL, and how to exploit SQL and application features in DB2 on z/OS version 8 and 9.
EBOOK:
With support for IBM DB2 for z/OS Version 8 retiring in April 2012, customers will have the option to skip a level and upgrade straight to DB2 10. This e-book is designed to help customers decide whether they are a good candidate to make this leap and provides best practices for planning an effective migration strategy.
