Db2 Ends 2024 Very Strong and Marks My 28th Year of Working with Db2 on LUW

With the release of DB2 12.1 IBM has incorporated AI into an already stellar product. The advanced Optimizer incorporates additional AI to assist companies with improved performance from continuous feedback. Support for Object Storage and increased AWS integration and offerings will continue to place Db2 in the forefront of Cloud Based database solutions. Its been a great ride and I’ve seen so many improvements over the years to make Db2 very easy for DBAs to implement, support, and monitor all aspects of database performance. With most settings set to automatic and with automatic storage tablespaces, companies can get up and running very fast with Db2 and get good performance right out of the box. With advanced optimization and AI, developers can spend less time optimizing SQL queries while Db2 takes care of it in the background. These improvements enable DBAs to spend more time on high availability, clustering, backup and recovery, disaster recovery planning and ways to exploit all the capabilities offered in Db2 12.1. For more information refer to my previous post on this release. Cheers!
