Thank you to all our finalists for sharing your DB2 knowledge with the DB2 Community. Unfortunately, Richard was not able to join us due to work conflicts.

A message from today's show sponsor
During today's quick commercial break, a DBI customer "Bill" talked about his experiences using the DBI tools in his organization. By using DBI, his team was able to determine that performance issues were not DB2's fault, and that, in fact, query response times were actually quite good.
Please watch our short 2 minute 26 second video. Thanks!
