Overall Satisfaction with Db2
It can be used in both ways with or without relational concepts which helped with the current requirement of our business module where we need to be able to store data of both nature, structured and unstructured for us to help minimize the data loss which is incredibly sensitive and important for the business growth and fulfilling product needs.
- XML structured data storage
- Relational data storage
- Materialized query table
- Online backups need to be taken only in an offline environment which is quite troublesome because you don't always have the option to go offline.
- Extensibility for buffer pool size in case of large data sets sometimes some tables could need more size for storing which is not possible at the moment.
- Could be a lot more handy if they could introduce temporal tables like the ones in ms SQL.
- Data consistency
- Data loss prevention
- Data integrity
