DBI's Shameless Marketing Moment
During today's quick commercial break, DBI demonstrated best practices for using the db2advis command with Brother-Panther®. We analyzed the SQL workload for the entire month of February 2011, then passed the four most costly SQL statements to db2advis as a workload. db2advis, the IBM DB2 Design Advisor, works BEST when a workload of multiple SQL statements is passed into it. In the demonstration, the db2advis command gave advice for reducing the workload cost by over 99%! As Finalist Norberto pointed out, the db2top command is a useful tool for analyzing real-time performance - but DBI's Brother-Panther allows you to analyze SQL workloads for any timeframe of interest!
