Description Further storage savings with extensive compression DB2 9.7 expands the scope of its advanced data row compression to more types of data. This can further reduce your storage requirements while improving the efficiency and performance of your disk and IO. Compression is enabled with the Storage Optimization Feature license. XML data in the XML storage object of a table can now be compressed using data row compression. Temporary tables are now automatically compressed by the DB2 optimizer to help maximize storage savings and performance. Indexes can be compressed. If data row compression is enabled on a table, indexes on the compressed tables will be compressed by default. Data replication source tables can be compressed. In addition, because some inline LOB files can now be stored in base table rows, you can use data row compression to compress them as well. When a large object (LOB) is smaller than a specified size, the LOB is now stored in the row of the base table instead of in the separate LOB storage object, helping to increase performance. Performance enhancements DB2 9.7 contains numerous performance enhancements benefiting a wide range of database applications. Access plan reuse helps ensure consistent performance for applications not originally written for ideal database performance. By enabling static SQL access plan reuse, you can ensure that queries execute with predictable performance across version or fix pack upgrades, updates to statistics, and some configuration parameter changes. Access plan reuse keeps the access plan that was chosen for a static SQL statement the same as, or very similar to, the existing query execution plan across binds or rebinds. Statement concentration, new for DB2 9.7, reduces the need for compilation. The statement concentrator enables SQL statements that are identical except for the values of literals to share the same access plan. Sampling RUNSTATS on statistical views run faster in DB The SYSTEM sampling style is now supported and overall sampling performance is better. Optimization guidelines for packages are also easier to apply. Currently committed locking semantics help the cursor stability (CS) isolation level provide better concurrency and faster access to data. The new locking behavior offers significantly reduced lock wait and deadlock scenarios. The new behavior is beneficial in high-throughput transaction-processing database environments. This IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2

3 new behavior is particularly beneficial if your applications run against databases from multiple vendors. You can use CS instead of writing and maintaining code pertaining to locking semantics specifically for DB2 databases. This new CS behavior is the default for new databases, and can be enabled for existing databases that have upgraded from a previous release. Scan sharing improves concurrency and performance. DB2 9.7 allows multiple scanners to coordinate the shared use of buffer pool pages and potentially reduce I/ O through buffer pool page retention. Scan sharing increases workload concurrency and performance. itioned indexes on partitioned tables improve performance. With DB2 9.7, you can use partitioned indexes to improve performance when you roll data into and out of a table. In addition, partition elimination for queries against a partitioned table that uses partitioned indexes can be more efficient. XML insight with purexml Enhancements to DB2 purexml opens new opportunities to exploit your XML data by deploying it in data warehouses. XML data is now supported in the following additional types of tables, objects, and environments: range-partitioned tables, MDC tables, declared temporary tables, user-defined functions, and partitioned database environments. DB2 purexml performance has also been enhanced. Multiple XML documents in a column can now be decomposed at the same time. In addition, write access is supported during creation or reorganization of indexes over XML data. Finally, all XML data can now be compressed (refer to the compression enhancements section). Application development flexibility Significant application development enhancements have been added to DB These enhancements will help both existing DB2 applications to be built and modified quicker, and also allow developers with multiple SQL language skills to work easily with DB2. A key focus of DB2 9.7 has been to make it easier to create stored procedures and triggers in a shorter amount of time. The enhancements include expanded support for implicit casting, the creation of modules, new functions, and a range of new data types. Module and package creation allows developers to bundle and deploy groups of procedures, functions, and variables. A large of new, pre-written, system defined functions and modules included in DB2 9.7 replace scripts or functions that database administrators (DBAs) may have previously written themselves. Examples of some of the many new modules are listed below. Mail modules The mail package allows DBAs and developers to easily send s and interact with an SMTP server or sockets in their scripts. Alert and output modules The output package gives DBAs the ability to manipulate files as well as write to external files. This is very useful for administrative scripting as well for debugging and deploying applications. The alert package can be combined with the output module to build custom monitoring and batch scripts. Job Scheduling and Utility Module The new package helps DBAs automate job scheduling and tracking from within their existing scripts. A wide range of utilities, SQL and DDL commands are now available for greater hands-free administration with DB2. File modules Working with LOBs and files is now easier with the functions included in the file manipulation package. DB2 9.7 introduces new data type support for NUMBER, VARCHAR2, and DATE with time component. To make data management more compatible with other database IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3

4 management systems, you can now use the NUMBER and VARCHAR2 data types. You can also have the database manager interpret the DATE data type (normally comprised of year, month, day) as a TIMESTAMP(0) data type (comprised of year, month, day, hour, minute, second). Improvements in string manipulation functions, such as TO_NUMBER, DATETIME, and TO_VARCHAR, make it easy to use the new data type. Alternative SQL language syntax is supported including alternative SQL language syntax for DELETE statements, the RID_BIT scalar function, the FOR UPDATE clause for SELECT INTO statements, and alternative SQL programming language syntax for triggers and procedures. Alternative SQL syntax such as varying outer join methods is now supported. DB2 9.7 has new application and administrative interfaces to simplify development. A new scripting and command line development tool, CLPPlus, provides support for dynamically creating, editing, and running SQL statements and scripts. Data dictionary views are now available that enhance the existing DB2 catalog and snapshot information. The data dictionary views are self-describing, so you can determine what information is available and how to access it. Full-text searches with Net Search Extender are available in DB2 9.7 for rangepartitioned tables and additional partitioned database environments. Accessing IBM database management systems (DB2 and Informix ) is easier than ever. The common IBM data server clients and drivers have been enhanced and simplified, as have the IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio and new Python extensions. Autonomous transaction support and the ability to create global temporary tables expands the DB2 capabilities. In addition to federating data from DB2 and IDS databases, DB2 9.7 now supports Web services through federation. Business-critical reliability and availability You can now invoke a new stored procedure to move the data in a table to a new table object of the same name (but with possibly different storage characteristics) while the data remains online and available for access. You can also generate a new optimal compression dictionary when a table is moved. For system leveraging data partitioning, a new node can be added online to minimize the impact on warehouse environments as the system grows. DB2 is now more resilient to critical errors or traps. The first job of your data server is to keep running. Even when faced with a critical error or trap, DB2 9.7 tries to continue to safely operate. If the data server determines that it can safely keep working, it will try to isolate the problem and provide diagnostic messages to help resolve the issue. If you need to restart the data server to fix the problem, you can now wait until after peak business hours. Simplified administration DB2 9.7 provides enhancements that make it easier to manage DB2 environments, can help you reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO), reduce the impact of performing system management tasks, and extend the capabilities of the autonomic features. Automatic storage capabilities have been expanded, and unused storage extents are easier to reclaim. Adding database partitions has been simplified. Finally, enhancements to installation, upgrade, and fix pack procedures make DB2 faster to deploy and easier to maintain. DB2 9.7 accelerates problem solving through new point in time and event monitoring. You can now better understand what is happening inside your DB2 data server by using the new comprehensive monitoring information designed to address common diagnostic problems. Since the new monitoring is also more efficient, this new level of understanding doesn't come at a price. These enhancements include: IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 4

5 New monitor elements, available through SQL, that show where and how the DB2 database manager is spending its time. Improved lock event reporting with a unified approach to monitoring all lock event types. A clearer view into the package cache, including static and dynamic statements. A new event monitor that collects section details when capturing an SQL activity event. Adaptive workload management DB2 9.7 both enhances and simplifies workload management. Application-level control and aggregate activity data collection, and the definition of workloads have been simplified. For Linux environments, the workload manager has been integrated with Linux workload management (WLM). DB2 9.7 supports priority aging of in-progress activities, I/O buffer pool priority control for service classes, new thresholds, and improved time granularity for time-based thresholds. These new controls allow DB2 to react to changing workloads more precisely and effectively right out of the box. The DB2 data server can increase or decrease the priority of the workload ensuring that both runaway queries don't overwhelm a system and that key workloads under tight service level agreements get priority. Workload Management is included as part of the Performance Optimization Feature. Security enhancements With the of both internal and external security threats growing, it is important that data security can be separated from a DBA's management of critical systems. Advances in separation of duties are designed to let DBAs maintain full control over database operation, while preventing access to the data. You can also easily isolate all security and auditing control into the hands of a separate security administrator. Security has further been simplified with new groups making application development privileges as well as workload management simpler. Additionally, security functionality has been extended with AES encryption, Transport Layer Security (TLS), and additional Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client support.

IBM DB2 9.7, Enterprise Edition priced features IBM DB2 Storage Optimization Feature for Linux, UNIX, and Windows: This feature includes data row compression and other compression types to help maximize the use of existing storage. Data row compression uses a static dictionary-based compression algorithm to compress data by row. Compressing data at the row level is advantageous because it allows repeating patterns that span multiple column values within a row to be replaced with shorter symbol strings, allowing for improved performance. In I/O-bound systems, it will not only reduce storage requirements but may improve overall performance. Index compression utilizes multiple algorithms to reduce the storage requirements for indexes and reduces the total storage footprint of your DB2 database. Temp compression will automatically compress the amount of space used for temp tables. This automated compression will help to both improve performance of business intelligence workloads using large temp tables as well as reducing the total storage needed by DB2.
