It's the International DB2 Olympics! |
Today's Finalist Winners: Cristian, Leila, Akshat, & Rajesh100% of our studio audience learned something! Today's presentations were again very good considering that we had contestants from Austria, Iran, and India! It fascinates me that we can gather around our computers and learn from industry peers all over the world. You will learn about inline UDFs in DB2 V10/V11, Performance Optimization on SAP/DB2, Solving DBM1 high CPU usage, and lessons learned while upgrading DB2 LUW with avoiding pitfalls. This show contains another buffet of useful tips and advice! Enjoy! |
Show Host Scott Hayes Commentary
We had one contestant no-show, but everyone else remarkably showed up and gave good presentations! However, going into the March Finals we will only have 9 Finalists, not 10. Our esteemed, kind, loving, helpful judges, in their infinite collective wisdoms, selected Christian, Leila, and Akshat from today's auditions, plus the selected Rajesh as an alternate from our 6 February auditions. It's in the rules that we can change the rules. As such, our Top 9 Finalists will be...

- Pratik, India
- Sreeharsha, India
- Rohit, India
- Christian, Austria

It pays to learn DB2 on The DB2Night Show!
We like giving away gift cards! It's fun! Due to GoToWebinar® limitations for repeating webinars, there was no post-show survey today. If you have any show feedback, please email us at the address within your GoToWebinar participant emails.I really appreciate that people participate in our polling questions. It is helpful and useful to know how our community is using DB2. So, just for fun, we're going to award an Amazon.com gift card to someone who participated in all of today's polling questions... (drum roll please) ... And the winner is Jeff Agosta with First Citizens in Raleigh North Carolina!
Today we also asked people to Tweet "I love #DB2 @ibm_db2 @db2nightshow ...", and at the end of our show @dbgresham won a $25 Amazon.com gift card!
To all of our winners - please be patient on these gift cards. We issue them every four to five or so shows because bulk gift card orders save time.
