DB2 LUW Performance

GREEN IT - Extreme Makeover: Optimal Physical Design Rehab - DB2 LUW Edition

In cooperation with IDUG, DBI is hosting three DB2 LUW Performance Webinars. These Webinars are based on Scott Hayes' 2008 IDUG technical sessions with updates on GREEN IT.

Participants who want to become Performance Heroes and achieve GREEN IT initiatives in their organizations should attend. After a brief overview of some key performance measurements, several case studies will be explored along with the physical design techniques and solutions that provide optimized results. We'll explore indexes, composite indexes, clustering indexes, index only access, MDCs, and the performance impacts of DB2 9 compression. Emphasis will be on DB2 LUW with applicability to all DB2 platforms. Attend and see how various design techniques can be used to turn ugly performance into beautiful performance at peak efficiency. We recommend participants have a box of tissues nearby in case you experience tears of joy.
