Depending on the version, it can be your best friend or worst enemy
What do you like best about the product?
DB2 is all about performance and control. We run it on an iSeries AS/400, version 5 revision 4. You get a lot of tools and a lot of in-depth access if you want it, as well as very good performance compared to most engines out there, mainly because, at least on the AS/400, the DB is part of the OS instead of being a ran program. Oh yeah, and the maintenance is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
FETCH FIRST 1 ROWS ONLY - instead of LIMIT. 0/1 instead of TRUE/FALSE (again, I am speaking from a v5r4 view). Weird act-ups sometimes, like a SUM containing a division of DECIMAL will return an integer in a SELECT and a DECIMAL in an UPDATE. The constant need for CAST. A DECIMAL(4,2) multiplied by a DECIMAL(4,2) has to be CAST down to a DECIMAL(4,2) manually, each time. Else, overflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing stocks, users, clients, basically everything a medium-sized business needs.
