(Robert Catterall) I have a few questions for you:

(Kimberly Chulis) This article discusses clustering, classification, and segmentation techniques specific to marketing in the development of targeted marketing, product development, and profiling solutions.

(Cristian Molaro) Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa—probably the best-known and the most-visited work of art in the world—is now on permanent display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.

(Ember Crooks) Part 3 in this series is a bit overdue. Parts 1 and 2 were back in April. This is a complicated topic. Please use any procedures here with extreme care, and keep in mind that if you have anything other than the standard two-server HADR-only TSA implementation, these procedures probabl

(David Shute and Peter Argue) Part 7 of this multi-part article series describes how to use a WebSphere DataPower service to act as an OAuth token enforcement point for an IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager OAuth authorization server.

While I pointed out two weeks ago that the CPU savings resulting from a move to DB2 10 will vary (in part stemming from your own migration preparation

(Daniel Luksetich) You bet you can! If you are using any currently supported version of DB2 for LUW, or are using DB2 10 for z/OS (or DB2 9 for partial support), then you can take advantage of some extremely powerful SQL constructs called OLAP expressions.

(Willie Favero) Last week we talked about how to improve LOAD and UNLOAD performance by taking advantage of the new option FORMAT INTERNAL (see “Did you know you can make DB2 LOAD run faster?” from August 14, 2012)…… This week I came across an APAR that when applied will also give you UNLOAD and UNL

(David Gillman) Customer segmentation is an excellent first step for technical people entering into predictive analytics. Using off-the-shelf software and existing transactional databases, companies can quickly generate segmentation models that form the basis for optimizing sales and marketing proce
