To DBA or Not to DBA

• DB2/SQL Query Performance Assessment

This remote service assess the use of SQL in client server and IBM i5/OS® applications as well as a review of memory pool and subsystem setup. The service also includes an assessment of the overview of the SQL environment and discusses the enablement of the query optimization techniques. At the end of this service, you will receive a report with recommendations for improving the SQL environment and potential next steps.

OmniFind Text Search Server for i5/OS 5733-OMF

• DB2 Standard APIs for Developing text search applications– No Charge PID

– Common DB2 Family Text Search technology

– Requires text index to be built over column/field

– Can “score” (rank) documents based on best fit/hits

– Supports XML, doc, ppt, pdf, and spreadsheet formats

• Example:– Examples - SQL Syntax

• SELECT author, story FROM books WHERE CONTAINS (story, 'mice chasing cats') = 1 AND YEAR >= 2000

• SELECT author, story FROM books WHERE CONTAINS (story, 'mouse chased cat') = 1 and SCORE (story, 'mouse chased cat') > .4

– OmniFind should be able to find "mouse", "mice", "chase", "chased", "chasing", "cat" and "cats".. all linguistic variations of words, not just capital letters etc.

Grouping Sets and Super Groups (ROLLUP & CUBE)

• Many BI applications and OLAP tools involve hierarchical, multi-dimensional aggregate views of transaction data– Users need to view results at multiple levels

– Users need to view result data from different perspective

– Current grouping support only allows aggregation data of along a SINGLE dimension

EXAMPLE: SELECT country region, store, product, SUM(sales) FROM trans GROUP BY country region, store, product

– Limitations result in extra coding for programmers

• V6R1 grouping and OLAP capabilities allow data to be grouped in multiple ways with a single SQL request

– GROUPING SETS

– ROLLUP

– CUBE Less Coding
