Recommendations to others considering the product:
Remwmber that some of the standard SQL statements are alightly different.
Works well with ASP.net however if you utilize remember the naming conventions from AS400 differ from standard DB2.

DB2 is the tried and true database.
What do you like best about the product?
When it is administered well, DB2 is lightening fast with even very very large tables and retrieval of your data is very easy from any programming language with the familiar and intuitive SAL language.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it has not been architected and maintained well, data retrieval can be very difficult. It is really only as good as the DBAs make it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have some tables with extraordinary amounts of data that are also growing bigger allbthe time. DB2 gives us the abiliry to pull from that data pool with subsecond response times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stick with one platform. I am working in a shop now where we have twobdatabase platforms. It's unnecessary and just makes things that much more difficult. Keep to one. If you switch, switch completely, not halfway.
Stable Database
What do you like best about the product?
I've worked with this software for thirty years.
What do you dislike about the product?
The DB2 software great for inventory and financial applications..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inventories and financial
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very favorable
Excellent DBMS
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent database to handle high volume of data, recommended for datawarehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
DB2 for Zos is focused on mainframe equipment, making it difficult for the installation of alternative infrastructure to the data center in the case of having a contingency center.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The partitioning of 21 alternative centers was resolved through the DB2, the management of roles and permissions for the accesses to the objects with the implementation of Rc / secure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Define the project very well if the DB2 database manager is required since it could be expensive to maintain the infrastructure depending on the installation and configuration.
