Overall Satisfaction with Db2

As a Db2 admin, among the projects I’ve handled that involved Db2 are:
  • Setup of HADR Table Partitioning Upgrade of Db2 from 10.5 to 11.5 and Fix
  • Pack Applications Database Replication using IBM WebSphere MQ
  • Installation and setup of Db2 databases and client servers
Most of the issues I’ve encountered were related to:
  • Restoration of local backup from one server to another
  • Long duration of local backups HADR Replication
  • Query Optimization
  • HADR Replication
  • Easy installation
  • Message Queue Replication
  • Duration of Backups
  • Table Runstats & Reorg Duration
  • Higher DB performance/stability on newer version
  • Great customer support
  • Quite expensive
We use Db2 in one of our biggest databases and it can handle huge amount of complex data and queries quite well.
One of the features I like most about the product is HADR. With this, you can have an exact replica of your database, that can be used if you have an outage.
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 the exact information for the applications within a short amount of time.
