DB2 is a family of relational database software solutions offered by IBM. It includes standard Db2 and Db2 Warehouse editions, either deployable on-cloud, or on-premise.
Compared to similar products, Db2 shared common Relational DataBase Management System (RDBMS) features such as SQL support, data integrity, Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability (ACID) Compliance and concurrency control. However, the Db2 is designed for scalability, …
Tried tested true and dependable. Main distinguishing factor however is the ongoing time in which it has been relied on, the preference by some stakeholders for ensuring sensitive data security, and its flexibility
Db2 is one of the oldest and mature rdbms available in the market. IBM products were already been used in the organization. Cost effective in terms of licensing.
We tried MS SQL. However, MS SQL is one of the most widely used in enterprise management. However, that is mostly compatible with Microsoft services and does not provide much strength with outside applications. db2 is also open-independent and compatible with cross-platforms, …
We are working for our product , where we were using different database but that database was not fast our work So we switch to IBM Db2 for better result.
DB2 works as good as any of these databases. It is cheaper to run than any of them. It is more solid and stable that SQL server or Netezza. It is very comparable to Oracle for reliabilty.
But for administration, Netezza is a little simpler because it has no indexes. Netezza is …
DB2 was more scalable and easily configurable than other products we evaluated and short listed in terms of functionality and pricing. IBM also had a good demo on premise and provided us a sandbox experience to test out and play with the product and DB2 at that time came out …
Db2 is one of the best relational databases I’ve used. It has the ability to maintain large amount of data and execution of million transactions in fraction of a second. If you use it properly, an organization can build a database with thousands of tables, and it can provide …
It's almost not comparable because they all do the same job in varying degrees. There are some things I like about Db2 that I don't enjoy about Oracle, but it mostly comes down to how it works and where it stores everything like SYS tables in Db2. MySQL is probably the fastest …
I did not choose DB2 over any other database engine, the corporation we are currently working for uses all of them for different companies/systems/departments and we need to consolidate data from all of them into a single data warehouse. DB2 is one of the many different data …
DB2 is a similar product that is most respected. Oracle might be supported in a broader context, but DB2 is superior on every platform where the choice is there. Licensing is also a factor in which DB2 is much better, which might offset any cost differences. DB2 support is also …
Price aspect is good with DB2, db2 Blu as was disappointing it couldn't compete with IQ. pureScale was disappointing and couldn't compete with Oracle RAC. Pros of using db2 is that it is admin friendly. Also it has a lot of flexibility with memory management which other RDMs …
I have managed Oracle databases too and in my opinion both the database platforms perform about equally. We mostly chose DB2 because we had existing resources familiar with DB2 and the DB2 platform was generally cheaper due to the ability to negotiate cheaper yearly license …
We did not select DB2. We are currently attempting to phase it out of our architecture due to licensing costs, lack of support, and we are trying to unify on a single database platform.
I have been a SQL Server focused professional for over 20 years, so SQL Server is my first choice. I have experience and comfort, and the ability to get up to speed quickly. Oracle has been too expensive, though I think it has performed similar to SQL Server in the applications …
I've used many DBMS during my career including Oracle, DB2, SQLite and FoxPro. Since I'm more a technical guy, I personally prefer MS SQL Server more than others for its ease of use and development tools and features.
Microsoft SQL Server is a DBMS that can be used in any situation, from small projects to big ones, and the latest versions now can be used in several OS platforms. It is a great product with many features over its competitors. It's a mature and robust product. It's easy and …
Microsoft SQL Server stacks up pretty well - it is well established and has a large userbase. The main reason we selected Microsoft SQL Server over any other RDMS was because of its well established place in the market for such tools and large number of users (easy to hire …
