FAQs

FAQ 1: Why is the show called The DB2Night Show when the events are held during the day?

ANS 1: Like many late night TV Shows, recordings actually occur during the daytime with live studio audiences. How many of you would get out of bed at 11pm to watch DB2 on TV?

FAQ 2: The show recordings occur during US time zones. What about those of us in Europe and Australia?

ANS 2: Our challenge is finding show guests. Help us find guests that won't have to get out of bed at 2am and we will be happy to do studio audience live shows at peak European and Australian times.

FAQ 3: How do we become a sponsor of the show?

ANS 3: Email "db2nightshow" "at" "dbisoftware.com" for details.

The DB2Night Show Episode #14
CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS with Scott Hayes

Back by popular request, we are going to do another CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS episode wherein we will do a live performance health check for a real DB2 LUW production database. If you would like to see how this works, watch the replay of Episode #9.

Obviously, to make this show successful and educational for participants, we need YOUR snapshot data! If you would like a free performance health check analysis completed for your database, please send the text outputs (in a zip file) from these commands to db2nightshow "at" dbisoftware.com:

db2 get snapshot for database on DBNAME
db2 get snapshot for bufferpools on DBNAME
db2 get snapshot for tablespaces on DBNAME
db2 get snapshot for tables on DBNAME

As you will see in Episode #9, care will be taken to not reveal the organization that provides the data - your contributions will be anonymous unless you specifically request to be identified. If your database's performance data is selected for use on the show, you will receive a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate with our thanks for your contribution.
