<strong>DB2</strong> Query Monitor V2.1 supports and exploits <strong>DB2</strong> V8.<br />

10.7 <strong>DB2</strong> SQL Per<strong>for</strong>mance Analyzer <strong>for</strong> z/<strong>OS</strong><br />

<strong>DB2</strong> SQL Per<strong>for</strong>mance Analyzer <strong>for</strong> z/<strong>OS</strong> V2.2 (SQL PA) allows you to analyze SQL<br />

statements without having to execute them. It provides many different types of detailed<br />

reports giving the novice developer or experienced DBAs reports of different in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

depending on the level of experience.<br />

For more in<strong>for</strong>mation about this <strong>DB2</strong> tool, see<br />

SQL PA V2.2 has been completely redesigned and contains full support and exploits <strong>DB2</strong> V8<br />

in both compatibility and new-function modes.<br />

Here is a list of new features in the tool that expand on support <strong>for</strong> <strong>DB2</strong> V8:<br />

► Handles DBRMs in Unicode or EBCDIC<br />

► Supports larger SQL statements up to 2 MB<br />

► Provides consideration of MQTs <strong>for</strong> access paths<br />

► Supports the REFRESH statement which allows the EXPLAIN function to consider the<br />

use of MQTs when considering access path selection<br />

► Recognizes<br />

– <strong>DB2</strong> catalog and longer names<br />

– Columns containing data in Unicode<br />

– Padded/nonpadded indexes<br />

► Includes redesigned report structure in order to handle long names<br />

► Provides statistics collector program that supports <strong>DB2</strong> V8 catalog<br />

► Supports new PLAN_TABLE columns<br />

Additionally, SQL PA reports on table and index versioning, volatile tables, MQTs, DPSIs, and<br />

other <strong>DB2</strong> V8 enhancements.<br />

Refer to Appendix C, “SQL PA sample reports” on page 399 <strong>for</strong> a sample of the new SQL PA<br />

report illustrating some of the <strong>DB2</strong> V8 functionality.<br />

10.8 Data Encryption <strong>for</strong> IMS and <strong>DB2</strong> Databases<br />

If you need extra protection <strong>for</strong> your company’s IMS and <strong>DB2</strong> data in order to comply with<br />

regulatory legislation, then encryption may be the thing you are looking <strong>for</strong>.<br />

<strong>IBM</strong> Data Encryption <strong>for</strong> IMS and <strong>DB2</strong> Databases is implemented using standard IMS and<br />

<strong>DB2</strong> exits. The exit code invokes the zSeries and S/390® Crypto Hardware to encrypt data <strong>for</strong><br />

storage and decrypt data <strong>for</strong> application use, thereby protecting sensitive data residing on<br />

various storage media. This tool can help you save the time and ef<strong>for</strong>t required to write and<br />

maintain your own encryption software <strong>for</strong> use with such exits or within your applications.<br />

In IMS, the <strong>IBM</strong> Data Encryption tool implements encryption using the standard Segment<br />

Edit/Compression exit routine. Both IMS data and index databases can be encrypted and<br />

decrypted.<br />
