Raja had planned on talking about db2advis but was absent from today's show. He is disqualified from continuing.

During today's quick commercial break, DBI demonstrated best practices for using the db2advis command with Brother-Panther®. We analyzed the SQL workload for the entire month of February 2011, then passed the four most costly SQL statements to db2advis as a workload. db2advis, the IBM DB2 Design Advisor, works BEST when a workload of multiple SQL statements is passed into it. In the demonstration, the db2advis command gave advice for reducing the workload cost by over 99%! As Finalist Norberto pointed out, the db2top command is a useful tool for analyzing real-time performance - but DBI's Brother-Panther allows you to analyze SQL workloads for any timeframe of interest!
