DBI SoftwareToday's "DBI Commercial " was very educational, so don't fast forward through it! Previously on The DB2Night Show and at IDUG conferences (Orlando, Melbourne, and Barcelona 2013), Scott Hayes has presented on DB2 10.1 and the new Index Jump Scans. During our commercial, we compared the performance of DB2 V9.7 versus DB2 10.1 FP3 in a high volume OLTP e-commerce environment. A number of SQL statements in the 4,600+ statement workload benefited from Index Jump Scans. Pay attention! You'll see reduced Index Logical Read costs, lower CPU, and some faster response times.Our #1 Job is helping you look great!
Our #2 Job is giving you the documentation to prove it!Contact DBI and find out how our DB2 LUW Performance Solutions can truly help you optimize performance and lower IT costs. Show Host Scott Hayes CommentaryI think this was a fun and informative show. Fred has a great sense of humor and Ember has terrific attention to details. I like having multiple guests. When one has trouble with their internet connection, we switch to the other! I suggest you follow them both on Twitter: At IDUG Barcelona, during the DB2 Experts panel, someone in the room asked intriguing questions about what tools people used. When asked "Who uses db2pd? " all of the hands went up. When asked "Who uses db2top? " all of the hands went up. When asked "Who uses Data Studio for database administration? " no one raised their hand. With as much as IBM has invested in Data Studio, I thought this was surprising and unexpected, so we asked today's studio audience what tools they use. Here are the results: "Free " DB2 tools used by the DB2 Community 34% of today's audience indicated using an Advanced Edition of DB2 LUW which includes IBM OPM in the bundle, yet 0% of our audience indicated that they use it!
