Back cover<br />

<strong>IBM</strong> DATABASE 2 Universal Database Server <strong>for</strong> z/<strong>OS</strong> <strong>Version</strong> 8<br />

(<strong>DB2</strong> V8 or V8 throughout this book) is the twelfth and largest<br />

release of <strong>DB2</strong> <strong>for</strong> MVS. It brings synergy with the zSeries<br />

hardware and exploits the z/<strong>OS</strong> 64-bit virtual addressing<br />

capabilities. <strong>DB2</strong> V8 offers data support, application<br />

development, and query functionality enhancements <strong>for</strong><br />

e-business, while building upon the traditional characteristics of<br />

availability, exceptional scalability, and per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>for</strong> the<br />

enterprise of choice.<br />

Key improvements enhance scalability, application porting,<br />

security architecture, and continuous availability. Management<br />

<strong>for</strong> very large databases is made much easier, while 64-bit virtual<br />

storage support makes management simpler and improves<br />

scalability and availability. This new version breaks through many<br />

old limitations in the definition of <strong>DB2</strong> objects, including SQL<br />

improvements, schema evolution, longer names <strong>for</strong> tables and<br />

columns, longer SQL statements, enhanced Java and Unicode<br />

support, enhanced utilities, and more log data sets.<br />

This book introduces the major per<strong>for</strong>mance and availability<br />

changes as well as the per<strong>for</strong>mance characteristics of many new<br />

functions. It helps you understand the per<strong>for</strong>mance implications<br />

of migrating to <strong>DB2</strong> V8 with considerations based on laboratory<br />

measurements. It provides the type of in<strong>for</strong>mation needed to start<br />

evaluating the per<strong>for</strong>mance impact of <strong>DB2</strong> V8 and its capacity<br />

planning needs.<br />
