(Craig S. Mullins) Most data is not static. No, data has a life in which it changes, is used for perhaps multiple purposes, and gets moved all over the place. So it makes sense to think about the lifecycle of your data at your organization.

(Emil Kotrc) I am a big fan of minimizing the calls to DB2 and run as few SQL as possible. That is one of the reason I like the MERGE statement although it is a bit limited in DB2 for z/OS. In this short blog I would like to mention another of my favorite SQL tricks – SELECT FROM data-change-table-r

(Henrik Loeser) My blog has been quiet for some weeks thanks to some offline vacation and due to some business trips. Last week I first spoke about DB2 at a conference, then coached developers at a Bluemix hackathon.

(Ember Crooks) With fixpack 5 of DB2 10.5, IBM introduced Native Encryption for data at rest in DB2. This is a fairly significant new feature for introduction in a fixpack. It does require separate licensing – either the Advanced Edition of ESE or WSE or the separate purchase of the Native Encryptio

(Vinayak Joshi) Build applications in Scala that access IBM Data Servers like IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix and Windows, IBM DB2 for z/OS, IBM Big SQL, IBM dashDB and IBM Informix. This article includes sample code and instructions for creating Scala applications that access IBM data servers using IBM Dat

(Robert Catterall) And neither should you.

(Scott) 100% of our audience learned something! Steve is one of the top DB2 LUW performance gurus at the IBM Canada Lab, and he gives great presentations too! Today was no exception! Steve covered recommended configurations, how to monitor DB2 pureScale, and offered his sage advice based on his worl
