Between 2007 and 2010 IBM delivers a plethora of SQL and Optimization enhancements to DB2. Come find out how to best utilize all these powerful features. Misuse of SQL can cost significant resources. Issues discussed include non-optimal index design, access paths gone wild, Stage 2 predicates, misuse of SQL, excessive sorting, delayed filtering, lack of implementation of powerful new SQL features. If you are unable to change the SQL, come learn what features you can implement to tune the frozen code. Details on designing optimal indexes and MQTs for the workload will also be covered. |
