Show Host Scott Hayes Commentary

Mohan and Kent are now busy writing more new books for DB2 LUW. They are full time DBAs, as well, at a major railway company with demanding performance requirements. No doubt, their "Real World " experiences make excellent materials for presentations and books. I wonder if they'll be starting a fan club?

DBI Software

During today's quick 3 minute commercial, DBI demonstrated its new Advanced Index Benefit Analysis. When db2advis tells you that you can get a 98% cost improvement by creating several indexes, which indexes are the most beneficial? Which are marginally or minimally helpful? This challenge has plagued DBAs since Version 6 of DB2 LUW. Finally, DBI has automated answers for you! Don't skip the commercial!

Get the Download Replays

We're trying something new in Season #7. We used to provide links to WMV and MP4 files, but now Citrix/GoToWebinar allows us to host replay videos on their servers. Supposedly the advantage is that you'll be able to watch the replays on ANY device. And yes, we'll save some GBs of storage and bandwidth on our server as well.

With that said, the new process is simple. All you need to do is simply register (as if you were going to attend the live event that has already passed), and then the replay video will immediately begin to play. Very Easy! And still FREE too!

REGISTER & WATCH!

PDF Handout

A PDF handout was distributed to live show attendees. Do you like handouts? Join our shows live! If our guest makes handouts available, they'll be distributed via GoToWebinar during the live shows. On the GoToWebinar tool, there's a tab that has "+ Handouts ". Click this and get the PDFs!
